Haro! Haro! Haro! à l'aide, mon Prince, on me fait tort!

Haro! Haro! Haro! To my aid, my Prince, I am being wronged!

The Clameur de Haro is an ancient Norman customary-law cry, still legally recognised in Jersey and Guernsey today, by which a wronged person can bring a disputed act to an immediate public halt pending judgment by the court.
