[@nautifella]

According to the _"Code Duello,"_ once a challenge has been accepted, _Honour_ could be satisfied in one of several ways. 1) Both parties showing up and agreeing Honour as been satisfied by the meeting. 2) After the _pose and flex_ routines, one party may realize he is greatly out match and apologize. This may also include a few _thrust and parry_ maneuvers. 3) first blood from torso. Obviously a wound between the clavicle and waist. If the wounded party wishes to continue, a second torso wound would require the seconds to stop the duel. If the wounded party inflicts a torso wound on the other party, the combatants may agree to end the duel. If not, it becomes a _fight to the death._ At this point both parties chances of survival are greatly reduced by the likely hood of infection. Rarely did one of both actually die on the field, but rather later. Sometimes hours, or even days. The end of the fight didn't necessarily mean the end of the duel. See the movie *_"The Duelists"_*

to those too focused on the swordplay: The guy with the short hair is the guy challenged the guy with the long hair to a duel. Thats why he got to pick swords. the traditional ritual follows before the fight the guy by grabbing his sword the long haired guy essentialy said "let us compare our fencing abilities" Thats why its more theatrical in the beginning. Its a show off. they do this before fighting for real to give each other a chance to surrender, if they found out that the gap was too big. then the guy with the short hair end the fight by getting in a chekmate position, showing that he wants to go for real. you see this as they are both more careful with their moves. thats the real deal. the short hair guy plays smug by doing the timeout/yield gesture(you the lords looking each other like "holy shit your son dishonored you by yielding?" And the other is like "wait. My boy is not a quitter." then the short haird guy plays the "just a prank bro" card dick move by moving to just drink some wine. Note that they kept facing like some "I explicitly believe that you are a deceiving and dishonorable man" insult or maybe indicating that the duel isnt over yet" duels could end on the first blood. The long haired guy did this by delivering very gracefully an indisputable first blood blow. duels could also and on out of comission. the short haired guy did just that. his sudden continual of the duel was basically him saying "anything goes from now on.", whiich is why nobody reacts to the long haired guy attacking from behind. From now on it is a fight to the death. sadly, when two animals of the same species fight to the death, most times they both die, no matter how fancy they go about it note: english is my second language so anyone who wants to repost it with better grammar is free to do so.

Terrible seconds... but thats children, is why you NEVER appoint your second in line/in command as your second for a duel... Afterall seconds were meant to be both witnesses, referees/referee assistants and ultimately meant to step in when it appeared that the duel was getting out of hand. Like with this one... after that stab to the stomach it was rather obvious that this combatant wouldnt survive without immediate attention. And to be honest he won in the end only because he threw himself with utter disregard for his own life... An honorable way for both of them to die, but a waste afterall.

The darkly dressed duelist received a devastating blow to the stomach at 4:05 (and then he was holding his stomach almost the entire time, as if supporting his torn guts.). Knowing that he was mortally wounded, the duelist usually attacked much more aggressively than before, and was more focused on "returning a favor" than on defending himself (which is also confirmed by fencing masters from this era, e.g. Francesco Alfieri)

[@GaldirEonai]

Non-critical injuries from blades usually healed well enough, even _long_ before anything resembling modern medicine (roman surgeons had extremely good documented track records when it came to putting wounded gladiators back on their feet, for example). The real problem was arrows and later on firearms, both of which had a tendency to push dirt and pieces of clothing (or armor) deep into the wound where they'd act as seeds of infection, as well as causing a lot of deep, internal damage under the surface where blood flow wouldn't easily push the dirt and damaged tissue out. Guns increased the lethality of war exponentially not simply because of their immediate killing power but also because the injuries they caused were _far_ more likely to cause death from infection later on than anything that had come before.

[@donaldbadowski290]

@@GaldirEonai I'm thinking more about a puncture to the gut. Ever see those early bayonets, which were simply pointy iron bars? Surgeons couldn't sew them properly, and people died because of it. That's why you now see blade-type bayonets. OK, to my mind (joke) a rapier piercing your clothing, skin, outer ab muscles and into your intestines is much the same thing. You could clean a puncture to the arms, legs, even upper chest and prevent infection. Not so the guts.

A detail here: Since the short-haired duelist is taken to be more brash, proud and treacherous, his second seems to have a similar personality, and is willing to see the fight an end. The long-haired duelist's second, seems to prefer a defeat, even at the loss of honor, and the life of his friend. When the short-haired duelist dies, his second shows little sadness. He seems to take just "a part of living the life" kind of attitude.

[@marcinkotlarz7512]

Yes, short-haired guy seems to the challenger and to be be more fierce. Actually, he would be probably mortally wounded at 4:05. Later, when there was a difference between seconds attitudes, his second probably realized that his friend was going to die anyway, so he preferred to not interrupt the combat. Being already fatally hit, you would try to continue to retaliate, and (preferably) make your opponent die first. And such was the action of short-haired duelist, and he obtained his last goal: took his opponent with him and even make the long-haired guy die first.

[@Master...deBater]

Defeat in a duel was not considered a loss of honor...the idea was to prove your gameness! Refusing to either duel or apologize for the perceived insult, was the loss of honor.

People are on here saying that duels were prohibited and those were different days, yada yada. That is crap. People meet up by the ball fields after school, or outside a bar every day still. Are they swords fighting? Generally not, but I've seen some knife fighting in my day. I once saw a guy hit with a tire tool. That looked painful. The rules are generally the same today as well. You bring a second if possible just to make sure you don't get jumped. At pretty much any time, you can either call it off and apologize or escalate and duel to the death. There is usually some drinking involved and stopping for a quick shot is still a thing. Hell, gunfights are probably more common today than in the old west. It seems like somebody gets killed in a good old fashioned shootout every other day in my town.

First second: "They are both dead!" Second second: "Excellent, this leaves more wine for us... Bottoms up!"

This reminds me very much of a climax from a move I ha e watched before. Live an excellent remake of that scene or something. Either way well done guys.

[@oberstul1941]

This is superbly put together.

[@justsomeguy3931]

Very well done and totally hilarious. I can sing no higher praises than to say I can sing no higher praises.

This looks like two people being very careful with edged weapons and no protection trying to avoid hurting each other.
