Reynard the Fox

There are many stories featuring the villanious hero Reynard the Fox in many languages told over many centuries, going back as far as the early 12th century. All these stories are comic and much of the humor depends on parody and satire resulting in mockery, sometimes the subversion of certain kinds of serious literature, of political and religious institutions and practices, of scholarly argument and moralizing, and of popular beliefs and customs.
