Una Timeline and Summary

  • Her land ravaged by a dragon, Una finds the unproven, but promising, young knight Redcrosse to travel with her back to her home and to slay the dragon.
  • However, Redcrosse constantly gets distracted by other adventures and has to fight the monster Error even though Una specifically warns him against it.
  • Soon after, Una and Redcrosse are tricked by the evil magician Archimago and Una wakes up to find Redcrosse gone.
  • She goes looking for him and on the way is befriended by a lion, who scares a mother and her daughter that Una stays with and kills the daughter's boyfriend.
  • Furious, the mother and daughter pursue Una after she leaves in the morning but soon, Una comes upon Archimago disguised as Redcrosse.
  • The two travel together until they come upon Sansloy, who wounds Archimago thinking it's Redcrosse and kills Una's lion (sniff!).
  • Una is rescued from the clutches of Sansloy by some friendly satyrs, who along with their master Sylvanus, start to worship her.
  • She then meets the knight Satyrane, who helps her escape from the satyrs, and the two come upon Archimago (in disguise, as usual) who lies and says that Redcrosse is dead.
  • Satyrane pursues and fights Sansloy, but Una, devastated, flees until she comes across her dwarf who tells her that Redcrosse is not dead but is a prisoner in the castle of the giant Orgoglio.
  • Soon after learning this, Una heads off to search for him and ends up meeting Arthur, who tells her a long story about who he is and agrees to help liberate Redcrosse.
  • Arthur and his squire fight and defeat Orgoglio, save Redcrosse, and the two swear eternal friendship before going their separate ways.
  • Una then saves Redcrosse from the villain Despair and takes him afterward to the house Caelia so he can learn about morality and about how to be a good Christian.
  • Once he's learned what he needs to know, they finally arrive at her parent's kingdom where Redcrosse slays the dragon and Una and Redcrosse, in celebration, get engaged.
