EDITORS COMMENTS
Dame Lionesse, also known as Lady Lyonesse or Lady of the Lion, emerges from the mists of legend and myth, a symbol of courage and mystery that has captivated the imagination of the British people for centuries. This evocative image, reminiscent of the Arthurian tales of old, depicts the noble Dame Lionesse in her regal splendor, clad in ermine-trimmed robes and holding a scepter adorned with the emblem of the lion. The legend of Lady Lionesse is deeply rooted in the history and folklore of England, with her origins dating back to the early Middle Ages. According to the stories, she was a powerful sorceress who ruled over the mythical island of Lyonesse, located off the coast of Cornwall. The island, shrouded in mystery and surrounded by treacherous waters, was said to be accessible only during a few brief hours each year when the waters receded, revealing a causeway to the mainland. Dame Lionesse was revered as a protector of the sea and the land, and her name was invoked by sailors and fishermen to ensure safe passage and bountiful catches. She was also believed to possess the power to heal the sick and restore the lost, making her a beloved figure in the hearts and minds of the people. Despite her legendary status, the true origins of Dame Lionesse remain shrouded in mystery, with some scholars suggesting that she may have been inspired by a real-life queen or noblewoman of medieval England. Regardless of her origins, the enduring legend of Dame Lionesse continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the power of myth and the enduring allure of the Arthurian tales.
