I think handing over the spoils would depend not only on the sponsor, but the knight himself. The real Templars were granted spoils from Muslim conquests as well as farmlands, estates, etc. These knights were not Templars, but they were Grimms who served the seven houses, but no doubt made their own way, so to speak.
Renard mentioned to Nick that the Grimm knights took the treasure that belonged to the royals, no doubt specifically referring to his royal house. But, there were seven houses, seven different royal families, and seven legacies that spread thousands of square miles. Who then would have rightfully been entitled to the treasure? House of Kronenberg is only mentioned as the current dominant house. They may not have been at the time of the knights, but as there were seven houses even then, a decision like this would have to be made by all of the houses.
The series deliberately made King Frederick a phony, weak and unlikeable, and a slob. It was easy to detest him. Worse, they gave Diana this kind of character intuition, like somehow the audience is going to empathize with her because she doesn't like him. The problem I see with that is, does a psychopathic child like anyone? Not really.
But getting back to Frederick and the royals. I don't think it was such a great creative turn to make the king an unlikeable in the series, particularly with the keys. I don't think the keys were stolen, but I can see why it can be speculated. Because he's a screwup, it even makes it hard to believe Elizabeth fathered a child with him, or that Sean would even have anything to do with him.
Furthermore, there's no big deal that Nick managed to beat him. If it hadn't been Nick, it would have been someone else.

The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
