The above was taken from an article by Richard Freeman | Over the centuries a dragon is said to have grown from the corruption of the rotting bodies (this spontaneous growth of creatures from rotting matter was a common belief in Medieval times). | ||
The dragon took up residence in an Iron Age hill fort and preyed on the populace until Fulk Fitzwarine, a 13th century knight, slew the creature. | |||
Despite his brave deed Fulk fell foul of King John and was exiled. | |||
He continued his adventures abroad when he saved the Duke of Iberia’s daughter from a dragon near Carthage. | |||
