Des Rançons

Prize Law

Un bâtiment rançonné ne pourra être repris par les bâtimens de l'état, ni par les corsaires armés en guerre.

Life lesson: Once ransomed, a ship is off-limits — no double-dipping by recapturing it.
Notes: Ransom immunity: ransomed vessel protected from recapture by state vessels or privateers. Ransom agreement honored as binding. Good faith in maritime warfare.
