[Discuss] Duels Adventurer vs. Noble

[Samuel Knowlton]

Something I left out of my original post on this subject:

It's not just for personal reasons that a noble wouldn't duel a commoner. 
Noble *society* wouldn't tolerate a noble dueling a commoner.

The chief reason being the possibility that the commoner would win. The idea 
that a single commoner is better than a noble in any sense threatens the 
whole fabric of medieval society. Peasants are a different race. Their 
*blood* is different.

A noble losing so much as an argument with a commoner would lose so much 
face and status as to be effectively ostracized from most every other noble.
