In the following century Marie de France tells a fable very similar to the Renart version in Old French verse.
Marie de France retold this story in her lai, Le Fresne, where the heroine is not kidnapped but abandoned with birth tokens; she was a twin, which was regarded as proof of adultery, and a servant abandoned her to save her life.
Marie de France translated it into French and expanded it into the Legend of the Purgatory of St. Patrick.

Literary translations of the fable, using the Latin Romulus as their source, include those by Marie de France, John Lydgate and Robert Henryson, and translators tended to retain its first-place position.
