In Crispin: The Cross of Lead, the climax of the story develops after Crispin discovers that he is Lord Furnival's son, and attempts to find Bear with the help of The Brotherhood. When the group refuses to help him, he decides to go into Furnival Palace himself to find Bear. At the Palace, he steals a dagger and finds a portrait of Lord Furnival, noting that they do look similar. Soon afterwards, he finds Aycliffe and holds a dagger to his throat, demanding that he allow Bear and Crispin to go free in exchange for the lead cross. Aycliffe agrees, but betrays his promise and tries to kill Crispin and Bear at the city's gate. Bear picks up Aycliffe and throws him into the air, and he lands on one of his soldier's swords and dies. Crispin leaves the lead cross on his corpse to fulfill his promise, and he and Bear escape the city forever.
