A fierce fight on horseback and then on foot ensues during which both combatants suffer wounds - but only one is fatal. The violent and tragic episode was notorious in its time owing to the nature of the alleged crime, the legal impasse it provoked, and the resulting trial by combat, an ancient but increasingly suspect institution that was thereafter abolished."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.80944 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.80944 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 394.80944 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
