History

In Book I of the Faerie Queene, Princess Una goes in search of the Redcrosse Knight after her parents are captured by a fire-breathing dragon. Along the way, a fierce lion emerges from the woods, ready to attack. However, the lion is so taken by Unas beauty and humility that he instead kisses her feet and becomes her loyal companion.
