Reynard's amoral behavior is often excused by the fact that he's merely trying to survive in a world where everyone is amoral. King Noble pardoned Reynard for all of his crimes as long as he promised to abandon his old ways, and made him high bailiff of the country. The wolf, who was just as greedy as the lion, agreed. Despite Reynard taking several precautions the wolf almost killed him, but Reynard managed to convince him to spare him in exchange for treasure. The only one who remained hostile towards the fox was Isengrim, who furiously challenged him to a duel. He even tried to woo the king once again with promises of gold and jewels. Reynard claimed that the animals he had wronged had committed even worse crimes than himself, and argued that he never voluntarily would have attended the court if he was as guilty as they said. Noble planned to lay siege on the fox's castle, but Grimbard warned Reynard, and once again the fox attended the court to plead his case. Noble released Isengrim and Bruin and apologized for his mistake. Bellin returned to Noble, only carrying Kywards head to prove the fox's treason. He sent the Kyward the hare and Bellin the ram to escort him, but when they passed Reynard's castle to say goodbye to his wife, Reynard killed and ate Kyward. In order to break the curse, he had to visit the pope in Rome, to which Noble agreed. But the fox could not yet reveal the location of the treasure since he had a curse upon himself. Noble believed him and imprisoned the wolf and the bear. He claimed he had stolen the treasure from Isengrim and Bruin, who were planning to use it to overthrow the king. Reynard was deemed guilty and sentenced to death but convinced the king to spare him in exchange for a massive treasure. The only one to succeed was Grimbard the brock, whom Reynard followed willingly. Tibert the cat was sent next but Reynard lured him into net-trap. King Noble the lion ordered Bruin the bear to escort the fox to the court, but Reynard fooled the bear into a trap where he was badly injured by a group of human hunters. Reynard lived in a castle with his wife in a kingdom of anthropomorphic animals and was accused of numerous heinous crimes, such as blinding Isengrim the wolf's children, trying to strangle a hare and eating the chick's of Chanticleer the rooster. Even though all the characters in the fables were said to be corrupted and amoral, Reynard had committed more horrible crimes than anyone else.
