to those too focused on the swordplay: The guy with the short hair is the guy challenged the guy with the long hair to a duel. Thats why he got to pick swords. the traditional ritual follows before the fight the guy by grabbing his sword the long haired guy essentialy said "let us compare our fencing abilities" Thats why its more theatrical in the beginning. Its a show off. they do this before fighting for real to give each other a chance to surrender, if they found out that the gap was too big. then the guy with the short hair end the fight by getting in a chekmate position, showing that he wants to go for real. you see this as they are both more careful with their moves. thats the real deal. the short hair guy plays smug by doing the timeout/yield gesture(you the lords looking each other like "holy shit your son dishonored you by yielding?" And the other is like "wait. My boy is not a quitter." then the short haird guy plays the "just a prank bro" card dick move by moving to just drink some wine. Note that they kept facing like some "I explicitly believe that you are a deceiving and dishonorable man" insult or maybe indicating that the duel isnt over yet" duels could end on the first blood. The long haired guy did this by delivering very gracefully an indisputable first blood blow. duels could also and on out of comission. the short haired guy did just that. his sudden continual of the duel was basically him saying "anything goes from now on.", whiich is why nobody reacts to the long haired guy attacking from behind. From now on it is a fight to the death. sadly, when two animals of the same species fight to the death, most times they both die, no matter how fancy they go about it note: english is my second language so anyone who wants to repost it with better grammar is free to do so. I dont care about likes. I wrote this comment just because I want people to see how many details the creators put in this.

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"_*

I like how the seconds are just "Welp, looks like they killed each other. Drink?"

It seems the two gentlemen have killed each other, oh well. What are you doing for lunch?

"After a knife fight the loser is ash, and the winner is charcoal" -- Indonesian saying

This is the most gentleman-ish video ever made.

Some of the best I've seen in years, it's a shame Hollywood thinks they can replace us fight directors with stunt coordinators, the two are not the same thing, whilst I appreciate the latter for what it is, people who's expertise is in stunts rather than the sword don't really understand what goes into fighting and their work becomes more stuntlike than how a fight should look. This is why I appreciate more videos like this, it shows me that our position is not dead, Fight on Guys.

04:59 I love how one of the seconds is worried about the safety of the fighters, and the other one is all "tsk... tsk.... don't stop them man, this duel is bitchin'"

I like how the duel devolved from two equal fighters having a gentlemens duel into the two of them jabbing and slashing eachother a lot more harshly than before

I went to see a dual, and a violin concerto broke out.

Musketeer hats, fencing, high boots, folias. I love this era. Look like damn cowboy knights. With muskets, cowboy hats, swords, and armor.

At least they didn't die on carpets. That would be nearly impossible to clean.

Love the escalation. Nicely choreographed.

Man. This channel makes me wish for more realistic fencing in modern media. These fights are much more exciting than the rather silly ones we see in movies and television. The speed in which the combatants move makes the threat much more real and their skill makes it a lot more interesting to watch. Maybe one day someone will take note of this and incorporate it into the mainstream.

The lesson here? Never drink while cosplaying with real swords around.

This fight just goes to show that not every fight has to have a beginning, middle, and end with a Victor. Sometimes it just ends with a drink

The part that surprised me the most was the description. I thought this was a scene taken from a movie, very quality content indeed.

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.

I like how you took time for a little scenic humour even though this is mainly a fencing demonstration.

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.

ICYMI Backpacker in the window at 6:07. Hehe. Best smallsword duel on film ever! Absolutely smashing!

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 ...

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.

*A man needs a name.*

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.

Well done! Hollywood needs to hire you guys.

Dueling was a civilized undertaking .. they were even catered 🍷🍷

Normally, the loser died immediately and the winner died a week later from sepsis.

I am a sword freak and it took RU-vid a decade to show me your material and I am pissed. >) I love the work. /salute.

These guys are EVERYTHING I've never gotten out of the movies. These guys are AWESOME.

Did anyone have a link to the original audio? Was so much better.

Extremely well done. Nice to show that many smallsword duels ended like this.

The best dramatic smallsword duel I have ever seen.

i miss the old music... the tension is not the same

I love how the judges or seconds or whatever those two guys are, were like "oh, they both died. How embarrassing... Wanna go drinking?"

"Hey that's enough!" "Ssshhh. Let them kill each other." "Good idea."

And that is how gentlemen were meant to settle disputes.

I believe this is likely the best impression of such a duel as thy occurred in historical context.

A masterpiece, just like the rest of your videos. Impressive. Most impressive!

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.

Thank you Adorea for posting all these wonderfull clips.realistic ,historically accurate,not the shit Hollywood usually produces.

Very well made video and a beautiful display of fencing skills!

Absolutely the best fights, those skills are something amazing.

Tremendously realistic, phenomenal storytelling, remarkably choreographed!

This looks like it was part of a really good movie. Very well done, one of the best duels I've seen!

Exquisite! Do some more videos like this! I LOVEEEEEE swordplay!

What happened to Händel’s Water Music menuet? That was a hell of a great song for this duel.

I loved this. Thank you.

One of the reasons why sport fencing and actual fencing, should always be considered different.

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!

Nice choice on the music for this.

So nice to see the blade actually positioned between them self and their enemy instead of around their backs ect.

Very handsome men fighting to the death, a waste and a magnetic spectacle all at the same time.

acting so on point, you can feel the tension, nicely choreograph.

This is superbly put together.

First second: "They are both dead!" Second second: "Excellent, this leaves more wine for us... Bottoms up!"

I love how everyone watching is like well there dead.. wanna see if there still snacks in the other room

Very well done and totally hilarious. I can sing no higher praises than to say I can sing no higher praises.

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 .

Loved it. Well done gentleman, great skill and action. Enjoy your videos. BTW, the onlookers get to enjoy the wine after...and pizza

criminally underrated

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.

CHEERS to the ego of men... another amazing video, thank you!

THAT BEAT DROP THOUGH SON!

Wunderschön! Echt gut gemacht, vielen Dank!

You guys should do a 3 musketeers video, 4 vs 40

In this time... no words were spoken... wine was toasted... and a soundtrack played

Very good stuff!!! Love it.

The art of legally killing an aversary

Amazing duel coreography. A luxury clothes and a good actos. Congratulatios. You are a very skilled fight scenical company..

Super qualité... merci pour cette belle reconstitution à des années lumières de ce que fait Hollywood...

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 guess they were both wrong.

The sword fighters clothes and that room area exquisite!

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.

Bravo! 👏👏👏👏

Another great fight.

0:31 Long Hair DEFINETLY slept with Short Hair's wife. Look at that icy stare.

monty python having a historically accurate duel

Swords and alcohol seem to make any party a fun time

Весьма впечатляюще, браво!

So great !

It should be part of a movie. It is great. :) Both fighting and story. :)

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"

This was a very common occurrence, partially the reason why dueling was on the way out, unfortunately.

This looks like two people being very careful with edged weapons and no protection trying to avoid hurting each other.

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.

nice work!

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!

Nice video, great music!

"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?" ;)

Bravo!! priceless!!

Очень понравилось. Шикарная достоверность!

These are really good.

Magnificent!

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.

Fantastic sword fight! The music was a great touch even though I am not a big fan of Baroque

Well played! Much better fight then big hollywood. Looked real. Great acting & fencing.

It is quite intriguing to have French men dual in the most sophisticated style during that era while having Italian music playing also sophisticated during the same era.
