Editing Code duello (section)

==From the Roman Empire to Middle Ages==
In [[Rome]], the most famous duel was fought between three [[Horatii]] brothers and three [[Curiatii]] brothers, respecting precise rules during the 7th century BC. [[Marc Antony]] and [[Octavian]] also challenged each other to a duel which never came to fruition. The [[Lombards]] had dueling rituals too, often controlled by local judges. The [[Norse sagas]] give accounts of the rules of dueling in the [[Viking Age]] [[holmganga]]. The 1409 AD '[[Flos Duellatorum]]' of [[Italy]] is the earliest example of an actual code duello in Europe. [[Fechtbücher]] of [[Hans Talhoffer]] and other fifteenth century masters give rules for [[judicial duel]]s and "[[tournament]] rules", with varying degrees of detail.
