Well, you aren't even a knight, and you think a Duke should bother to duel you?

Insulting someone doesn't guarantee you a duel.  There should be no
'forced' duels.  There weren't in the middle ages.  They were always
mutual.  It will certainly gain his scorn, but again, no Duke should
waste him time dueling anybody below his stature.  If I were him I
tell my knights to duel you for your insults to the city.

You are 100 times greater than a peasant, but as a Duke he is 100
times greater than you.
