    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. I dont care about likes. I wrote this comment just because I want people to see how many details the creators put in this.

      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. (then again its just a movie... otherwise that loss would be even greater if the world lost two glorious renacters and HEMA practitioners XD )

    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.

      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.

      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.

      It's hard to see enough detail to date the backpacker. People used packs throughout history. You're probably right and its a minor gaffe that most likely was missed in the editing or just left in. FYI the intro to the Kung Fu series has an electrical tower in the background of the Shaolin temple scene.

    This video does well to showcase the increased danger to both parties when fighting with short weapons. Both fighters must be closer, which shortens reaction time necessary to defend, makes grappling much more likely, and greatly increases the chance of a double kill.

    This is a very nice portrayal of the duelling conduct of those times. The only thing I could nitpick is that if they both bled to death over time, there ought to be a bit more blood around, but then if I had costumes this pretty, I wouldn't want to ruin them either...

    • @ondras5241
      @ondras5241 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really. Dueling was outlawed by the Pope in 1215, but continued to be thing all the way to 19th century. It often wasn't till death tho. Often, just showing on the place was enough for both parties to agree than honour has been retained.

    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)
