THE rural tranquillity of North Norfolk is being threatened by a bizarre feudal battle between villagers and an Old Harrovian aristocrat who claims that their land is really his.
Robert Harbord-Hamond, the youngest son of the 11th Lord Suffield, has enraged local people in a number of villages by his attempts to reclaim common land that once belonged to his ancestors.
He has put barbed wire fencing round the 34-acre common in Hanworth so that he can graze cattle, and his security guards patrol it nightly.

It rather reminds me of the time Prince Chuckie tried to take back the City of Manchester. That didn't work either and the Prince is better connected.

Who says feudalism is dead?
No one. It is well known to be alive and well on the Channel Island of Sark.
Two elephants and a drum kit falling off a cliff?
No, just my act.

If that were the case, the queen of England (thats in england right?) actually has a right to his land too and can use his own rights about his.

Meh, if he can prove it, give it to him. If not, slap him around the face a few times. I hope that he gets slapped sooo muuuch... erm... yeah.
*Twitch* You used the F word.... *twitch twitch* The f word doesn't apply to peasants. The f word doesn't apply to anyone below the rank of knight. What you're talking about here is the manour system and enserfdom, which are the economic and social systems that support the political system of *twitch* f-f-feudalism. *Washes keyboard out with soap* The f word only really existed in England anyway. Everywhere else it was pretty much modified into something completely outside the bounds of... feudalism.
Fear the rabid historian. Yes, FEAR!.... wait... no! It was only a joke! Don't give me rabies shots! Noooo! Not the needles! *whimper*
