@katerine459 Episode 19 Endangered season 2 about 13:30 in. Renard tells Nick 7 knights were ancestors of the Grimm and specifically his ancestors. One of the 7 turned on the other and tthe royals recovered 4 keys in 600 years.

How does Renard know Nick's genealogy? It's my interpretation that Renard was saying those 7 were the ancestors of all Grimm. I thought it implied. Renard did reduce Nick to a commodity. 'You have a value'. Renard can't even name all 7 royal families, so it's a bit much for him to know Nick's ancestry.

@Ddarkn3ss Bees have a hive mentality. It's not much of a stretch that all mellifers are connected and that Nick's action killing one was known by all and the alliance dissolved with all Grimm. The bee sting at the end of the episode confirmed it.

Stripping a power means you know everything about that power, how it originated and that does mean hexenbiests created the Grimm to serve them and keep other wesen in line. And have a way to keep the Grimm in line. Grimm went on to serve the royals. After the Grimms left the service of the royals, they became loose cannon. The Reapers were then created to take down Grimm. HW employing Grimm back whnever maybe what stopped Grimms and royals wiping each other out.

Grimm don't make potions. Grimm have one purpose and that's to kill wesen. Renard knows only a Grimm can retrieve what the keys hide without any temptation to use it. We've already seen how the coins have no power whatsoever over the Grimm. The Grimm could not have created the hexenbiests, because theirs is the power to destroy, not create and they were given that power.
