It’s told by Thomas More at the end of his History of Richard III (c.1525): a fable that the lion announces execution of all horned beasts, and another with a lump on its forehead flees the forest: “Why fleest thou? That’s no horn on thy head” “Aye, but what if he call it a horn, where am I then?”

It’s true. I checked here.
