Among the Celtic conquerors of Britain the dragon was a symbol of sovereignty.
Dragons were also depicted on the shields of the Teutonic tribes that later invaded Britain, and it appeared on the battle standards of the English kings as late as the 16th century.
This dragon was reportedly seen in various places within a circuit of three or four miles, and the pamphlet named some of the still-living witnesses who had seen him.

British Folktales and Folktales of England are more traditional approaches by Katherine Briggs to the rich lore of English folk tales.Culled from her massive Dictionary of British Folktales, ghosts, giants, devels, dragons, saints, kings, and commoners jostle on each page as they tell their tales.
One source noted "Folk narrative is defined by the author as "folk fiction, told for edification, delight or amusement," whereas folk legend "was once believed to be true." All these tales are told as if they were indeed true -- and some are quite fantastical.
