Informations supplémentaires

According to local legend, Newcastle Emlyn saw the last appearance of a dragon in Wales. according to the tale, a winged creature known as a wyvern flew over the town during a fair. It landed on the castle wall and promptly fell asleep. What should the townsfolk do? A clever soldier lay a shawl on the river and hid nearby. When the dragon awoke it was attracted by the shawl and flew down to the river to snatch it. The soldier leapt out of hiding and speared the dragon, and the dragon's blood poisoned the river. It seems a fanciful story, but might there be historical truth behind it? For one thing, the poisoned water was held to a cause of the plague that affected 14th-century Britain so badly.
