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"_*
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 )

You aren't wrong though about the style above being Spanish though.
The one whohad the greater skill, in white, lost his composure, costing him the duel, he fell first. Lesson, never under estimate your opponent, keep good fence, both off, and de, and don't assume because you have more skill you will win, it takes just one moments lapse for opponent to get past the guard to make the telling blow. Good lesson taught in this episode. Great film.
The choice to keep the music in the foreground while the particulars of the conversation and action were turned down was a nice touch. It made it feel like watching a historical event from afar.
Luke Amparo to be fair, the small sword is an apt dueling weapon since the wounds are not nearly as messy (as in clean up, piercing is statistically more deadly then cuts,) as most of the bleeding stays internal. They really did think about the plight of the upholstering when they decided to duel to the death.
@@midshipman8654 Ah yes. The ingenuity to construct weapons of a more *civilized* age. It would be plebian to fight with any other *brutish* weapons. Weapons made by and for the gentleman I must say!
My favorite reconstruction of a duel.... What a grace! An a very real point: the harder you were injured and the less you had to lose, the more fierce was your counterattack ...
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.
We apologize to all our fans, it is true, we unfortunately had to replace the sound track for this video, because of copyright issues, and it coud have been deleted. Thank you for your understanding. We made the video a long time ago and did not know back than, that it could couse such a problem. With our more recent videos we are careful not to get in the same trouble.
I remind a story from a french swords master who fought a peasant who was actually 5 leagues under him in swordsmanship but was hit by a wrap around. a peasants trick. His leg was bleeding hard and he asked not to be treated by a doctor because he did not want to live on with this shame.
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.
@@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.
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)
Awesome fight. But being long-haired myself, I would assume that you'd tie long hair back for a duel, it's extremely annoying and obstructing during a fight.
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.
Supporter removes his hat out of respect, and honours his now-dead buddy. But, while the duel was on-going, his great respect didn't make him slow his drinking one bit, not even when his buddy was getting impaled. And, of course, the respect for his buddy wasn't enough to prevent him from grabbing one final, free drink! LOL Great video! Thank you, Adorea.
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.
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.
Magnificent video, comments make it even better. I would have like some remaining sound of the duel in background of the music, to sense the speed and strength of the fencing.
Man, I enjoyed the fight, but what enhanced it most was starting it and ending it with pieces of Handel's Royal Fireworks music. Brilliant. Just brilliant (author of Renee: St. Mary's Virus).
I can't believe it... People who don't immediately collapse dead when stabbed during a fight ! °o° I wish more film fights were like that, it is much more interesting to watch than the silliness we usually get in movies :')
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...
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.
Brilliant. That's about right. One third one wins. One third, the other. And then, the last third, both die. And even if you 'win?' Tetanus. Brilliant.
Ritual combat, a demonstration of skill, respect, honor and courage, not aggression. This sort of thing established your station within the community. Without it you cannot borrow money, marry in the best circles, or even associate with them; you do not exist.
Fights to the death are vicious and brutal. There is no nice way to do it. Loving how the real men went off to have a beer, so much more civilised. Makes good sense to me!

Maitre Mark Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't bald...
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.
*A man needs a name.*
lol
Dueling was a civilized undertaking .. they were even catered 🍷🍷
i miss the old music... the tension is not the same
Supporter removes his hat out of respect, and honours his now-dead buddy.
But, while the duel was on-going, his great respect didn't make him slow his drinking one bit, not even when his buddy was getting impaled. And, of course, the respect for his buddy wasn't enough to prevent him from grabbing one final, free drink! LOL
Great video! Thank you, Adorea.
I'm guessing that having to watch his buddy die, made that last drink all the more necessary.
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.
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.
The best dramatic smallsword duel I have ever seen.
Magnificent video, comments make it even better.
I would have like some remaining sound of the duel in background of the music, to sense the speed and strength of the fencing.
Very well made video and a beautiful display of fencing skills!
Did anyone have a link to the original audio? Was so much better.
This looks like it was part of a really good movie. Very well done, one of the best duels I've seen!
I love how the judges or seconds or whatever those two guys are, were like "oh, they both died. How embarrassing... Wanna go drinking?"
Very very nice work !!!!thanks you so much ,im a teacher of antic fencng in spain and i show all your video to my student .
Absolutely the best fights, those skills are something amazing.
What happened to Händel’s Water Music menuet? That was a hell of a great song for this duel.
Amazing duel coreography. A luxury clothes and a good actos. Congratulatios. You are a very skilled fight scenical company..
One of the reasons why sport fencing and actual fencing, should always be considered different.
I believe this is likely the best impression of such a duel as thy occurred in historical context.
So nice to see the blade actually positioned between them self and their enemy instead of around their backs ect.
And that is how gentlemen were meant to settle disputes.
Well I mean, in the video they both die...
that just means they were both wrong ;)
And their fathers drink tea to acknowledge the follies fo youth..
I think they mostly fought till first blood in the past
Mr Zolo in certain cultures, like the Polish nobles, first blood was a common end of the duel, but in France it was common to fight to the death.
Man, I enjoyed the fight, but what enhanced it most was starting it and ending it with pieces of Handel's Royal Fireworks music. Brilliant. Just brilliant (author of Renee: St. Mary's Virus).
Очень понравилось. Шикарная достоверность!
First second: "They are both dead!"
Second second: "Excellent, this leaves more wine for us... Bottoms up!"
Nice choice on the music for this.
First Second: "I say, it appears to be a draw!"
Other Second: "... I'll have another, if you please."
I wish male fashion never changed from those times. It really reached the peak in style and comfort.
Oh I love the 3:59 move! Stab and twist the sword in the wound while you're rotating your body... That has to be devastating!
Indeed. At this instant the short hair guy must have known he was wound was mortal, and he decided to take the opponent down with him....
I can't believe it... People who don't immediately collapse dead when stabbed during a fight ! °o° I wish more film fights were like that, it is much more interesting to watch than the silliness we usually get in movies :')
monty python having a historically accurate duel
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...
Depends on the wound... some high hematoma wounds can be internal.. especially belly
However neck stab would've been quite bloody
"I say, old chap, what do you say we try to kill one another in extremely dignified fashion, and make a drinking game out of it?" ;)
An excellent metaphor for the present geopolitical situation....
acting so on point, you can feel the tension, nicely choreograph.
Very handsome men fighting to the death, a waste and a magnetic spectacle all at the same time.
Wunderschön! Echt gut gemacht, vielen Dank!
I guess they were both wrong.
me encanto , buenísimo un saludo desde Perú
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.
Brilliant. That's about right. One third one wins. One third, the other. And then, the last third, both die. And even if you 'win?' Tetanus. Brilliant.
Swords and alcohol seem to make any party a fun time
Revolting Peasant not saying from experience though
Revolting Peasant dang man I’m sorry to here shoot you have any more HEMA war stories?
Ritual combat, a demonstration of skill, respect, honor and courage, not aggression. This sort of thing established your station within the community. Without it you cannot borrow money, marry in the best circles, or even associate with them; you do not exist.
The one guy with the hat on "Let's stop this" and the other guy, "no, let them fight, that will be more wine for us"
It should be part of a movie. It is great. :) Both fighting and story. :)
I love how everyone watching is like well there dead.. wanna see if there still snacks in the other room
Well played! Much better fight then big hollywood. Looked real. Great acting & fencing.
i like how they just toast over their bodies lol. great fight nerds
GREAT RENDITION . CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!"!
A classic music is called winter ( the four seasons ) by Vivaldi
The sword fighters clothes and that room area exquisite!
What happened to the original song
I miss the original music, it really completed the whole thing ):
You guys should do a 3 musketeers video, 4 vs 40
Exquisite! Do some more videos like this! I LOVEEEEEE swordplay!
the loud music being the only thing we hear is a shame , glad they got much better and editing videos
Fights to the death are vicious and brutal. There is no nice way to do it. Loving how the real men went off to have a beer, so much more civilised. Makes good sense to me!
molto bello , elegante e ben costruito. Complimenti!
This looks like two people being very careful with edged weapons and no protection trying to avoid hurting each other.
Excellent fencing and excellent face play.
Очень жаль...они были замечательные благородные люди ...таких теперь не так много...они могли бы быть надёжными друзьями..таких теперь не так много...мир праху
Вот и непонятка..
Благородные, честные..
Чем тогда могли так насолить друг дружке, что только смертоубийство был выход?
@@ДождикОсенний-ш8х это могли быть адвокаты
Шикарно поставлено.
In this time... no words were spoken... wine was toasted... and a soundtrack played
0:31 Long Hair DEFINETLY slept with Short Hair's wife. Look at that icy stare.
CHEERS to the ego of men... another amazing video, thank you!
Very well done and totally hilarious. I can sing no higher praises than to say I can sing no higher praises.
I loved this. Thank you.
