Through the ages humans have resolved disputes by fighting with one another and this was also true in the Middle Ages when judiciary duels were often held. Also known as trial by combat or battle by combat it was seen as a chivalric way to settle a dispute. If an accusation was made against someone, without a witness or a confession, fighting in single combat was the only way to recognise who was right and who was wrong. Medieval duels were not just about brute strength, they were often about nerve and cunning. Here we will travel back in time to take a look at this Medieval mode of justice and hear about some of the more famous Medieval duels. Welcome to Medieval Madness.
