Honestly, if I were the infil, I would have hit both. Why?
Major dukes have influence. Other players might not separate IC/OOC. I can't tell you how often I've seen a character get wounded, then his cousin or brother or whatever begin giving orders as if he/she were that character. To knock out chain of command, it's often necessary to knock out the whole family of the chain of command. Which makes sense IC as well.
