In 1589, Edmund Spenser presented the first part of The Faerie Queene to Queen Elizabeth I. With the Queen’s guidance, the poem was then published the following year and soon became a literary sensation. The poem is most famous for its first section, which introduces Una and her lion. In the story, they seek out the Redcrosse Knight to help rescue Una’s parents from a dangerous dragon.
