The legend of the Rooster of Barcelos
Barcelos is a small town in northern Portugal. Several crimes were committed there, and no culprit was arrested until one day a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela was found guilty by the court.

He proclaimed his innocence and, to do so, went to the judge. Seeing a rooster in a basket near him, the accused said: "It is as true that I am innocent as your rooster will stand up and crow at the moment I am hanged!"


The rooster crowed and the judge rushed to the place where the man had been hanged. He found that, due to the knot being poorly tied, the man was alive. He was thus considered innocent and released.
