[ Return to European Dragons ]
Location:
Isle of Largo (Possibly an island around
the British Isles)
Description:
The ruler of the isle of Largo
was Ypocras. A goddess turned his daughter into a dragon, who was known by
the people as the Lady of the Land. As a dragon she lives in a cave inside
a castle. It is said that if a knight is brave enough to kiss her on the
mouth, she will turn back into a human. Many knights have come to her, but
all have fled in fear, leaving the Lady to cry alone. All of those who fled
have died shortly afterwards. This retelling is from the version recorded
by Edward Topsell.
