Duel

A Duel or Single Combat is a fight which happens between two people over a specific outlined issue in accordance with a predetermined set of rules.

In many cultures Duelling used to be a fairly common way to settle disputes, especially among the upper classes. If the alternative is three generations of free-for-all blood feud between their families this can be seen as the lesser of two evils. On the other hand, it still means that people (in particular young men with a lot of potential but also a lot of bravado) get themselves maimed or killed pointlessly. For this reason during the 18th and 19th century duelling gradually was banned in Europe.
