The First DueIs Are sata to 8svo
 Been Fought In Italy.
 The first duels were fought in Italy, according to Mlllingen. who speaks of a manuscript discovered at Cassel and describes a duel between a father and a son in the reign of the Emperor The odoric. When Charlemagns forbade wager of battle among the Lombards he encountered the fercest opposition from the nobles. Early In the ninth century De Medicis, knight, defeated in single combat the bandit Mugsl, who devastated the Florentine district now called after him. Mugello. Otho II. granted the prayer of the nobility for the re-establishment of wager of battle in 9SS. Women and priests were not compelled to accept 1t. The Normans showed less gallantry. With them 6 woman had to accept, nor could she name q champion. Her male op- ponent, however was buried to his waist in the earth. Armed with club. he tried to strike her as she cir cled around him. his weapon being 
 ball of Iron at the end of a cord. If he failed to touch her at the third at tempt he was vanquished, which meant to him death with dishonor.
 Beccarin says that the reason @ many duels were fought in Italy In the early days Is that where the law does not afford protection one must look to single combat to retain the re- spsct of ones fellow men. In the mid dle ages the ferocity of Italian duels passes belief. Any way of putting an enemy to death cogni modo) Is good enough" says one of their writers. .when an Italian spares his vanQuish- ed adversary" says Brantome.
