The Taill of how this forsaid Tod maid his Confessioun to Freir Wolf Waitskaith



The Taill of how this forsaid Tod maid his Confessioun to Freir Wolf Waitskaith (or The Confessioun of the Tod) is the fourth fabill in Henryson's Morall Fabillis. Its protagonists are a Fox and a Wolf. It is also the second in a linked "mini-cycle" of three taillis in that poem which follows the fate of a family line of foxes.

The principal action of the fabill revolves around rites of confession, penance and the remission of sins. These were all standard practice in the Scotland of Henryson's time.
