A quick definition of clameur de haro:

Term: Clameur de Haro

Definition: Clameur de Haro is a French term used in the Channel Islands to protest against trespassing on someone's land. It is a legal tradition that dates back to when the Duchy of Normandy ruled the islands before England took over in the 13th century. When someone cries out "Haro, Haro, Haro, a l'aide, mon prince, on me fait tort" (which means "Haro, Haro, Haro, come to my aid, my prince, for someone does me wrong"), it is supposed to stop the offender from possessing the land. The cry is named after Ha Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Clameur de haro is a French term used in the Channel Islands to protest against trespass to land. It is a legal remnant from 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.

Example: If someone is building a fence on your land without your permission, you can use the clameur de haro to protest against it. You would shout "Haro, Haro, Haro, a l'aide, mon prince, on me fait tort" to stop the person from possessing your land.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the clameur de haro can be used as a legal tool to protect one's land from trespassers. By shouting the cry, the offender is warned that they are committing a wrongful act and must stop immediately. This tradition has been passed down for centuries and is still recognized in the Channel Islands today.
