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/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.
