- The history of dueling is full of shocking moments, like the time the vice president shot and killed the Secretary of the Treasury - that was, of course, the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. But no duel was more shocking than the topless duel between fought a princess and a countess. It was called the first emancipated duel because not only were both duelers women, their seconds and the doctor on hand to tend their wounds were also women.
Female sword duels were uncommon, even by the late 19th century when the topless duel was fought.

They should bring this back but on pay per view
They need to bring back dueling immediately.
Will Smith should've challenged Chris Rock to a duel instead of slapping him.
"The blades were nearly edgeless, like the lyrics to a Will Smith song" 🤣😂
According to a famous traveler of that time from Japan, Keisuke-san, the dispute started when countess arranged flowers and broke a stem of a rose. Saying that roses are weak, she asked for another flower arrangement. To this, princess replied that when the seed of a rose hatches, it can actually break rock. The very rock that twig like fingers of countess can't even scratch. It is undisputable that roses are strong, while countess is weak. Countess talked back by calling princess a streetwalker out of her prime, waning like an old rose. The reply was - you will taste defeat. And the answer - anywhere, anytime. The events and a pugilistic duel at a carriage-parking lot behind the opera were thoroughly depicted in a set of masterfull woodcuts that inspired countless artists of following days as a brilliant demonstration of strength through art.
There was a duelist who stripped completely naked to avoid clothing being pushed into a wound. (He knew about clothing infecting wounds.) This act so unnerved his opponent that the other conceded victory without a shot being fired.
We should start rich people dueling again.
“edgeless….like a Will Smith song” 😂😂😂😂😂
She probably married her uncle because there was no one else to marry. 26 is really late back then, and women were looked down on at that age if they hadn’t been married. Also probably had something to do with keeping land in the family. Cause that’s what marriage was designed for. A way to pass down land

This is catty, petty, and ridiculous, while also being brave, honorable, and clever at the same time. I love it! 😂
People like boobs and violence pretty equally. I’m surprised we don’t still do this.
I love the writer Ivan Turgenev.
This absolutely needs to be a movie!
This is the best episode of Weird History. EVER! 😂
Duelling is a practice that never should have fallen out of favor. EVER.
This is definitely the best topless-duel video I've seen all day.
Anyone "I challenge you to a duel", Me "Ok you win".
Never let facts get in the way of a good story
I really like the photos and paintings used in this one, like the photo of that woman with the cigar (
