In the TV series Game of Thrones, there were four different seasons where disputes were determined with trial by combat.

For centuries, trial by combat was a legitimate option for conflict resolution, and according to some theories, it might still technically exist. 
Learn more about trial by combat and how it was actually conducted on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
