Reynard the Fox,a very popular medieval fable which developed in the later twelfth and thirteen centuries in France and Germany, from where it spread throughout western Europe: the many “branches” of Reynard verse are generally grouped together as theRoman de Renartcycle. Reynard is an anthropomorphic fox who is always up to no good, a cunning trickster whose escapades are both entertaining and illuminating. He istheanimal representative of the medieval outlaw, far less benevolent than Robin Hood, and utilized by medieval scribes (who were of course, monks) as a form of satirical and whimsical criticism. But Reynard is also a fox, and like all sly foxes, quite capable offeigningvulnerability (and piety) in order to elude capture and capture his next meal. One of the most common images in medieval manuscripts is of Reynardpreaching, to an audience of birds whom he intends to eat.
