Dueling in France. 17th Century.
Market vendors go about their business while two duelers fight,
exhorted by their seconds, on the Pont Neuf in Paris. Detail from an anonymous
17th-century painting. Musée Carnavalet, Paris.
ON MAY 12, 1627, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the
Count of Bouteville and the Marquis of Beuvron met in a Paris square, for the
express purpose of defending their honor. A skilled swordsman, the 27-year-old
Bouteville was a veteran of many duels and had killed at least half of his
opponents. One of his victims had been a relative of Beuvron, who spent months
trying to arrange a duel with the count for vengeance.
