The Last Duel

The detailed recounting of the trial and duel really immerses readers in the medieval justice system. I wonder what led the author to highlight this particular event over others from the period.

The concept of trial by combat is so foreign today, yet it was an accepted form of justice back then. How do readers interpret the moral and social implications of such a system?

The narrative feels vivid and engaging, but I’m curious whether creative liberties were taken or if every detail was meticulously researched.
