The Greeks and Romans both honoured Fallow Deer as sacred game and kept them in specially created groves. They were dedicated to Artemis and Diana, the Goddesses of the Hunt, Fertility and Wildlife. For them the spotted summer skin represented the stars in the night sky and a male yearling was considered as the perfect love gift.
Since the time of Charlemagne Fallow Deer were kept in many game parks in Europe. Royalty, knights and noble man gathered to hunt and feast on the royal game.
