The Coup de Jarnac: Not So Devious!

The term comes from a famous judicial duel in France in 1547, between Guy Chabot de Saint-Gelais, baron de Jarnac and François de Vivonne, seigneur de La Châtaigneraye. It's often used in a derogatory manner, implying that it's a "dirty trick" or some sort of backstab. As my HEMA instructor Erik Bailey and are demonstrating based on our interpretation of different accounts of that duel, it's not so unusual, nor outrageous.
