Excerpt: " Bisclavret " is one of the twelve Lais of Marie de France written in the 12th century. It tells the story of a werewolf who is trapped in lupine form by the treachery of his wife.

A year later, the king goes hunting, and his dogs corner Bisclavret, now fixed in wolf form. As soon as he sees the king, Bisclavret runs up to him to beg for mercy by taking the king's stirrup and kissing his foot and leg.
