From Wikipedia (Rodrigo=El Cid, Ximena is Sophia Loren, Gormaz is Sophia Loren's father)

For his act of mercy, Don Rodrigo is accused of treason by Count Ordóñez. In court, the charge is supported by Ximena's father, Count Gormaz, the king's champion. Rodrigo's aged father, Don Diego, angrily calls Gormaz a liar. Gormaz strikes Don Diego, challenging him to a duel. At a private meeting Rodrigo begs Gormaz to ask the aged but proud Diego for forgiveness (for accusing Rodrigo of treason). Gormaz refuses, so Rodrigo fights the duel on Diego’s behalf and kills his opponent. Ximena witnesses the death of Gormaz and swears to avenge him, renouncing her affection for Rodrigo.

Her loyalty to her husband being equivocal, I’d take my affections and loyalty elsewhere even if she was a fox like Sophia Loren. There’s always more out there on the hot side of the Hot/Crazy Matrix.
