The Wolf of Gubbio was a wolf who, according to the Little Flowers of St. Francis,[1] terrorized the Umbrian city of Gubbio until he was tamed by Francis of Assisi acting on behalf of God. The story is one of many in Christian narrative that depicts saints exerting influence over animals and nature, a motif common to hagiography.[2] Unlike many miracle stories of the middle ages, there is some physical evidence marking the origin of the story.
