In 1348, King Edward III summoned a knight named Gilder and tasked him with slaying a dragon, which he believed to be responsible for the Black Death. Gilder gathered a small army of knights and went hunting for the dragon, but were ambushed by a Meganulon, and then Megaguirus. The knights took shelter in a cave, which led to a temple devoted to Mothra, who Gilder believed to be an angel. His men, however, saw Mothra as another dragon and tried to kill her, only for many of them to be killed in self defense. Megaguirus attacked Mothra, and the two fought, ending in Mothra's victory. Gilder contracted the Black Death, and burned Megaguirus' corpse while his surviving men returned to King Edward's castle, only to be shot on sight.
Back in the modern day, Thompson and Kasumi discovered Gilder and Megaguirus' remains, and speculated he had help killing the beast.
