To medieval Christians, the dragon and the devil were interchangeable. The dragon is chained, because of the old prayer: Margareth, bind den Drachen an, daß er uns nicht schaden kann (Margaret, chain the dragon so that no harm comes to us). As the Middle Ages were very dangerous and the devil never sleeps, St. Margaret was a very popular protector when Austria was cut out of wilderness. | To medieval Christians, the dragon and the devil were interchangeable.
