History

Hi,

does anyone else love history?

  • When did he get shot in a duel?

    I do not think it had anything to do with Asperger Syndrome.

    In Pre Revolutionary France if a Noble man had a quarrel with another Nobelman he would challenge him to a duel.  If he killed him it would not count as murder.

    In some societies it was a tradition to challenge people to duels and often it would end with the weeker one being killed.  If you refused the challege you would be spat on in the streets.  That has nothing to do with Asperger Syndrome because crazy traditions survive amongst so called NTs.

    I do not know if any societies still have duels.

    David.
