vanishedone commented on the word clameur de haro
B.B.C. News: 'One ancient right all Sarkees can invoke if they believe their property is being threatened, is the Clameur de Haro.
'By falling to their knees in front of witnesses, they can recite the Lord's Prayer in French then cry out for justice; "Haro, Haro, Haro! A mon aide mon Prince, on me fait tort!" (Help me, my prince, I have been wronged).
'If the Clameur is registered with the Greffe (court) the alleged wrong must stop until it is dealt with by the court.
'The seneschal said he had dealt with only one Clameur in 1999, but they almost always involve a boundary dispute.'
