In the Middle Ages, the unicorn was labelled a strong and ferocious beast and yet also associated with chastity and virginity, as the animal could only be restrained by a virgin. A text from the 15th century reads, "A unicorn is so strong that no hunter can catch it. But a virgin is placed where he is expected, she opens her womb and the unicorn lays his head in it. He now loses his fierce nature, falls asleep and is surprised like a defenceless animal and killed by the hunters' throwing bolts".
