Excerpt: ...for such purposes than a long one) left him there for dead, though he survived an hour or two, saying some confidant had betrayed him. This little affair despatched, the Baron succeeded in getting off the premises so adroitly that no one had a notion or more than a conjecture who the murderer was. So quietly was the whole affair managed that it was never brought home to him; and he never even avowed it in so many words to his intimate friend--our author! Such was the end of M. Du Gua, a brave and THE DUEL "AT HOME" 119 generous gentleman, the chronicle of whose deeds is written in our little Book of Colonels in France from the first institution of that office.1 Such was his end, killed in the middle of his company of guards, among all his own officers and soldiers, and hardly fifty paces out of sight of a monarch who was particularly devoted to him--without any one knowing anything of it--a thing which was indeed a nine days' wonder at Court. " In conclusion," the Baron in question did deserve his reputation as the most remorseless of sleuth-hounds in the matter of private vengeance. Whether (in addition to the above ghastly tale) he was also responsible for the murder of the young Montraveau, brother of M. Clermont d'Amboise, it was really difficult to say in the absence of better evidence; especially as it happened somewhere in the woods or warrens of Nantouillet, and the two families (presumably of Nantouillet and Montraveau) had not been on very good terms for some time past. On such a matter there was no certainty, but Brantome knew for a fact that there were two other men he meant to kill, who may have heard, without regret, of his decease. Some of his enemies (possibly these two among them) never did approve his particular " way of...

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Duelling Stories of the Sixteenth Century English reader forms one of the most singular contributions extant to the social history of the latter half of the sixteenth century. As a collection of sensational anecdotes of real life, it may be said to stand entirely by itself in continental literature. To Brantome, in his capacity of biographer, we are indeed largely indebted for our knowledge of many of the celebrities of this period, when the enthusiasms of the Renaissance and the Reformation had lost their freshness, when the diseased remains of Chivalry were dying out in an atmosphere of treachery, violence, debauchery, and fanaticism, while France, torn by com plex factions, was struggling through the dark and stormy phases of the Religious Civil Wars.

Download or read book Methods and Practice of Elizabethan Swordplay written by Craig Turner and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring period drawings and prints of swordplay, this book examines and compares three Elizabethan fencing manuals written in English before 1600: Giacomo Di Grassi’s His True Arte of Defense (1594), Vincentio Saviolo’s His Practice in Two Bookes (1595), and George Silver’s Paradoxes of Defence and Bref Instructions upon My Paradoxes of Defence (1599). More than a technical manual on swordplay, this book explores the influence of a new form of violence introduced into Elizabethan culture by the invention of the rapier. The authors examine the rapier’s influence on the various social classes, the clash between the traditional English fencing masters and those embracing the new style, the growing concern with unregulated dueling, and the frequent references to rapier play in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. As producer Joseph Papp notes in his foreword, this is a book that "makes a difference in performance."
