She brings it to the king who was about to put to death, a man who had killed had killed his fox, one of high intelligence. When St. Brigid’s fox proves of equal talents, the man is freed. It is said the fox eventually returned to his home in the wild. The Fox 18th March - 14th April. Tree Lore equivalent, the Alder.
