Grendel wanted to be king of Tara. He took Reynart prisoner to prevent him from being crowned, whereupon Grendel would be chosen to replace him. However, the [[Fourth Doctor]] used an android to substitute for the prince. Grendel decided to force [[Romana I|Romana]], who was identical in appearance to Strella, to marry Reynart. Grendel would then kill the king, and marry his widow. Grendel would then kill her and become king. The Doctor arrived at the wedding and revealed the count's plot. He challenged Grendel to a [[Sword|sword fight]]. Losing the fight, Grendel jumped into a moat and swam away. Following this, he was exiled by Reynart. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Androids of Tara]]'') | |||
