In the British film 'Passport To Pimlico', residents of post-war London discover a parchment that shows that a small part of London is, in fact, independent from the British Crown. It is 'part of Burgundy', and the Duke of Burgundy comes to claim his rights... all fiction, but a lovely film.

or went diving too far for the treasure of the Niebelungen .
