	Barclays attack Sark as Europe's 'last bastion of feudalism' \| Business \| The Observer
		The billionaire Barclay twins are understood to be on the verge of launching a legal challenge to the centuries-old customs that govern the relationship between Brecqhou, which they bought for £2.33 million in 1993, and nearby Sark, an autonomous Channel Island community that boasts of being 'the last bastion of feudalism in the Western world'.
		But they have never relinquished the claim that would have been a central part of their case: that Brecqhou may not be be part of Sark at all, and therefore not subject to its laws.
		This argument is based on the claim that Brecqhou is not mentioned in Sark's earliest constitutional documents.

		When the Barclays arrived on Brecqhou, Sark's medieval inheritance law prevented them from leaving the island and castle equally to their four children.
