Excerpt from The Field of Honor; Being a Complete and Comprehensive History of Duelling in All Countries: Including the Judicial Duel of Europe, the Private Duel of the Civilized World, and Specific Descriptions of All the Noted Hostile Meetings in Europe and America
Antony sent a challenge to Caesar; still, duelling as an institution undoubtedly took its rise, as has been heretofore stated, about the middle, or possibly at the commencement, of the seventh century, although authorized, according to Blackstone, in 501 by Gunde bald, king of the Burgundians.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study on the history and socio-cultural significance of dueling as a practice throughout history, with a particular focus on England, Ireland, and Scotland. The author traces the origins of dueling back to the days of judicial combat and examines how it evolved into a widely accepted social ritual. The book provides insights into the motivations and justifications of duelists, highlighting the code of honor and the prevailing social pressures that perpetuated the practice. The author also discusses the legal and societal efforts to curb the custom and the factors that ultimately led to its decline. An exploration of dueling's depiction in literature and its role in shaping societal norms adds depth to the analysis. Throughout the book, the author presents a balanced and engaging narrative, shedding light on a fascinating and often controversial aspect of human history.
