Yes.
As Duke Alaric stated, a deed-of-arms would be more correct, as it is (abstractly) an expression of the joy of combat between brothers.

That is generally what I was hoping to convey Your Grace. I did not articulate it well enough. D. I would assume that by duel, SirMendor meant something more like a Deed of Arms. In that case, it would not be unseemly of you in any way to accept a proper challenge from someone who is not as experien...

We will get people standing up and cheering for this brutal fighting, but when someone gets chopped in the ankle, or a well timed forarm cut is employed, they (the audience) feel like they are getting ripped off!

I can appreciate the violence.

Seems that the fist-i-cuffs were more effective than the weapons.
So... made me wonder why have the weapons?
