In a village near Montblanc, there was a terrible dragon that was constantly hungry and ate all the local people and animals. Knights had tried and failed to kill the dragon. To appease the dragon, the king decided that citizens' names would be put in a box and drawn to be fed to the dragon. Eventually, the king's daughter was chosen as the sacrifice. However, a knight on a white horse fought and ultimately killed the dragon with a spear through its heart. From the dragon's blood came a rose that the knight, Saint George, gave to the princess.
