It's really self-evident if a player is willing to issue duel challenges to numerous people who never even talked to him and without even making a case why he feels insulted.
Or I've been playing the game close to 10 years and a character dying isn't the most important thing to me. Godric's whole story hinges on living in the shadow of his father and trying to pursue glory. A death in battle means he was weak, a death in individual combat is a glorious end to his Saga. As for why he's insulted, you don't need to understand, the character does. Quit trying to tell me how to play the game.
My point is that a french knight wouldn't even ever have an idea of challenging an English monarch after a military defeat. That's a silly situation to imagine.
This is more akin to the Duke of Surrey challenging the Duke of Anjou. He is a member of the king's (Xerarch) court challenging the opposing kingdom's general (also a member of the king's court). What's wrong with that?
Irrelevant in this case
Not irrelevant, your case made it situationally absurd. In the game there are no true restrictions on when you should duel. Further, in Greater Xavax it is literally enshrined the right to duel over anything. Because i wrote the laws.
.What do you even mean by that?
Use Google, darling.
