Fencing and shooting continued to coexist throughout the 19th century. The duel was based on a code of honor.

The Fourth Council of the Lateran (1215) outlawed duels and civil legislation in the Holy Roman Empire against d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
