Ancient legend has it that the 8th century Moorish invasion of Spain was the revenge of a Moroccan general for the rape of his daughter, Florinda, by Spain's King Roderich. Researching Spanish locations for her husband Albert's 1968 film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," Dana Broccoli unearthed the legend and, in 1977 turned it into a novel with her own spin -- Florinda as seductress rather than victim."
