1949 Epee Duel Vignancourt vs Nordman

1949 November 21. Narration in English. This is one of two videos on my channel covering this specific duel.
Near Paris, Maitre Vignancourt challenged Professor Nordman to a duel after a pointed remark was made in a Paris trial. The duel was stopped according to rules after blood had been drawn from Professor Nordman.

Welp, ya see, the best ways to keep duels secret is by bringing lots of news crews, nyah. If ya got lots of news crews recording, alot more people to keep the secret see, nyah.
Was dueling illegal but French people took it like disobeying traffic lights? I MEAN REALLY INTERESTING PIECE OF HISTORY BUT THE FIRST THING I WOULDN'T DO WOULD INVITE THE PRESS!

You know i could see this coming back, but with making the rapier blunt and adding a taser to it, first person to get tased and fall is declared the loser

[@Rikitocker]

From what I could see, Nordman had no business being there at all ...

"secret"

[@donaldbadowski290]

I don't mean to brag, but if I could have given each of them a few half-hour lessons, at least one would have been killed. Hey, maybe two if there's a good remise to the abdomen.

Good thing, then. I doubt either man would have liked to become a murderer
