In a village near Montblanc, a terrible dragon terrorized the people by eating them and their animals. When knights failed to kill it, the king decided each week a citizen would be sacrificed to the dragon by lottery. One week it was the king's daughter's turn. However, a knight named St. Jordi arrived and fought bravely against the dragon, ultimately killing it by thrusting his spear into its heart. From the dragon's blood came a rose that St. Jordi gave to the princess. St. Jordi then continued on his journey, refusing offers to stay in the village.
