Best Answer

unicorn is a legendary animal mentioned in many of the Asian and European myths. Many scientists believe a unicorn could have been a distorted form of a rhinoceros.

There are many theories based on this magnificent beast. However, there were no records of it being captured by anyone. People of medieval ages believed a unicorn runs silently through the forest and is a savage animal. However, a virgin could tame it. Hence, a unicorn is mainly associated with Virgin Mary.

There is also a belief, if the horn of a unicorn were placed on an injury, it would heal the wound.

In ancient times, it was believed unicorn's horn was powerful enough to neutralize the effects of poison in food and drinks. Hence, many cups were made from these horns. However, there is no proof whether these cups were made from the horn of unicorns.

Possessing even a fragment of a unicorn's horn could prolong life of a person, according to the belief of the medieval period.

Queen Elizabeth was presented with a narwhal tusk in 1577. During that period it was believed to be a unicorn's horn. It was valued somewhere between 10,000 pounds and Pound 40,000. It is still considered as a royal treasure.

A beautiful and carved "unicorn horn" was auctioned at Christie's in London for half million pounds in 1994.

Till late 18th century, it was a custom in France to carry a cup made from unicorn horn or a horn of unicorn to test whether the food and drinks were poisoned or not.

2.Another theory is that the La Rochefocald family were the original owners. This is because the letters F and R are sewn into the sky.
3. The theme of the unicorn tapestries is the fight between unicorns and the humans who pursue it.

They are mythological and they have horns.

The unicorn is special because of its magical powers. Also, there is no other 'horse with one horn'. It is more than that, by the way.

A common description is of a horse of any color (often white) with a long, spiraling horn and a goat's beard. They are very wise and powerful and have the power to heal.
