In Sark, Philippe, despite the disappointing outcome of his clash with Guernsey, continued to exercise his authority as Seigneur through the medium of his fief Court; the new Court proposed by the Order in Council of 24 April 1583 was not appointed until after his death in 1594.

 The deadening hand comes to Sark | Samizdata.net
Sark is an island (or technically a small group of islands) in the English Channel.
Sark has had problems over the centuries (invasions by pirates, the occupation by the Germans in World War II and so on), but its most serious problem has turned out to be the coming of the Barclay twins.
I blew-in to Sark in 99,on a romance of how retro it seemed to drive a horse and carriage on an island with no cars,in the last year of the 20th century,so I arrived at a time when the Barclays where making their first impact with their attempts to change Sarks Laws.

Sark is disproportionately famous there as a tax shelter, and availing oneself of its tax protection is known as the Sark Lark.
The Seigneur holds the Island in perpetual tenure from the Crown in return for certain obligations and annual dues (rente), and may not have that taken away from him unless he reneges on his commitment.

 BBC - h2g2 - Guernsey, Channel Islands, UK
Sark is yet another constitutional anomaly; it is the only Feudal Seigneury left in the world, and is therefore an independent state with the Seigneur owing allegiance directly to the Queen (it really is the Queen this time, not the Duke of Normandy).
Also an odd piece of law means that companies can incorporate on Sark with Sark directors and thereby avoid just about every piece of company law in the world.
However, Sarkees who go into the Company-Director-for-hire business (known as the Sark Lark) run the risk of finding that one of the hundreds of pieces of paper they get asked to sign has turned out to be part of a fraud, for which they get arrested and imprisoned.

 Make My Vote Count: Sarky Comment
The Times noted today that the island of Sark, in the Channel Islands, is considering a radical electoral reform.
Yes, from 2006 one person one vote may be coming to the island, although - we don't want to be hasty - it hasn't been finalised.
The challenge to the existing rules, that include Droit de Seigneur (relax, only over property sales), comes not so much from the forces of democracy as the forces of plutocracy, as the Barclay brothers challenged the current system before the Privy Council.
