The legend of the Rooster of Barcelos
Barcelos is a small town in northern Portugal. Several crimes were committed there, and no culprit was apprehended until one day a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela was judged guilty by the court.He declared 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 rise and crow the moment I am hanged!"
The rooster crowed and the judge ran to the place where the man had been hanged. He found that due to the poor tightening of the knot, the man was alive. He was thus considered innocent and released.
