clameur de haro

clameur de haro (klah-m[schwa]r dah-roh). [French] An outcry recognized in the Channel Islands as a protest against trespass to land. • The clameur de haro is a legal remnant of when the Duchy of Normandy held the islands before England took control in the 13th century. The victim’s cry of haro (repeated 3 times) is popularly supposed to be an abbreviation of Ha Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy. The full cry, Haro, Haro, Haro, a l’aide, mon prince, on me fait tort, when registered at the local records office, enjoins the offender from possessing the land. See HARROW; HUE AND CRY; GRAND COUTUMIER DE PAYS ET DUCHé DE NORMANDIE.
