Every man who sent a challenge, be the cause of offence what it might, was deprived of all redress from the court of honour — suspended three years from the exercise of any office in the state — was further imprisoned for two years, and sentenced to pay a fine of half his yearly income.
He who accepted a challenge, was subject to the same punishment. Any servant, or other person, who knowingly became the bearer of a challenge, was, if found guilty, sentenced to stand in the pillory and be publi...cly whipped for the first of- fence, and for the second, sent for three years to the galleys.
Any person who actually fought, was to be held guilty of murder, even though death did not ensue, and was to be punished accordingly. Persons in the higher ranks of life were to be beheaded, and those of the middle class hanged upon a gallows, and their bodies refused Christian burial.
DUELS AND ORDEALS. 277 At the same time that Louis published this severe edict, he exacted a promise from his prin- cipal nobility that they would never engage in a duel on any pretence whatever.
