 In later European folklore, the figure of Reynard the Fox symbolises trickery and deceit.He originally appeared (then under the name of "Reinardus") as a secondary character in the 1150 poem "Ysengrimus".He reappeared in 1175 in Pierre Saint Cloud's "Le Roman de Renart", and made his debut in England in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Nun's Priest's Tale".
