Do you know the legend of the Portuguese Cock??

THE COCK OF BARCELOS


At a banquet given by a rich landowner in a small village of Barcelona the silver was stolen and one of the guests was accused of the theft. He was tried by the court and found guilty. In spite of the overwhelming evidence against him he still protested his innocence. The magistrate granted the man a final chance to prove his case. Seeing a cock in a basket nearby he said : “if I am innocent the cock will crow”. The cock crowed and the prisoner was allowed to go free.

Except that the one you are mentioning was in Barcelos in Portugal.

There are several similar stories on the Continent re. a dead Cockerel coming back to life.

When I walked the Camino Frances in 2019 I came across a similar theme
in a town named Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

Such is the reference to which this tale is held that today, inside the Cathedral
there, they keep a clutch of Cockerels. (still live!)
