In Crispin: The Cross of Lead, when Bear finds out that Lord Furnival is Crispin’s father, he thinks that Lord Furnival’s widow will try to have Crispin killed. Bear first meets Crispin as Crispin is escaping Stromford after being accused of murdering a priest and stealing money. Bear takes Crispin as his slave, teaching him how to juggle and play the recorder so that they can entertain villagers and earn money as they travel to Great Wexly. One evening, Bear gets Crispin’s lead cross, which Crispin took possession of when his mother died, and reads what is written on it: “Crispin—son of Furnival.” Bear does not reveal that information to Crispin, however, as he suspects that Lady Furnival will attempt to have her late husband’s illegitimate son murdered so that she will be able to keep Lord Furnival’s money, land, and possessions.
