About this ebook
The story of England's last fatal duel
The insults that drew men to duels were often petty - a splash, a scrape or a disparaging word could all lead to pistols at dawn.
When Charles Hawkey watched James Seton flirt with his beautiful wife, there was only one way to respond. The two men were honour bound to meet in a duel, but only one of them could return.
New details on this story of honour - was Isabella Seton blameless or did she draw the rich Seton into a fatal romance?
