Not to beat a poor unicorn to death, but The Unicorn in Captivity is thought to not be part of the series, but rather a "one off" tapestry, even though it is displayed with the others. It doesn't follow logically that the unicorn would end up tranquil and happy in a pen after the savagery of the hunt. Here is the link to the catalogue entry for that tapestry. _http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/the_cloisters/the _unicorn_in_captivity/objectview.aspx?page=2&sort=5&sortdir=asc&keyword=&fp= 1&dd1=7&dd2=28&vw=1&collID=28&OID=70007568&vT=1_ (http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/the_cloisters/the_unicorn_in_captivity/objec tview.aspx?page=2&sort=5&sortdir=asc&keyword=&fp=1&dd1=7&dd2=28&vw=1&collID= 28&OID=70007568&vT=1) _http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/Unicorn/unicorn_inside.htm_ (http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/Unicorn/unicorn_inside.htm) is a website for people who can't get enough of the Hunt of the Unicorn. It even has features in which you can run the cursor over animals in the tapestry and they light up and tell you what the animal meant in the era that the tapestry was woven. Devon
