"How does that work then? I'd have thought that the only effective bait for a virgin-eating dragon would be a virgin....."
Many historians have theorised that the legend of using bulls as bait when attempting to slay a virgin-eating Dragon originated in medieval Essex (or the Kingdom of the East Seaxe as it was at the time) - monasterial texts mention the ancient 'hundreds' or districts of Uttlesford and Ongar as being possible locations. It's not that bulls were particularly effective as bait, it's simply that, this being Essex, by the time they managed to find a virgin the Dragon had either flown off or died of old age...
