Ah but this knight was of the sub-species of chivalry called the "Pot-bellied
Lout" whose call "lookatme, lookatme" is heard all over the known world.

Said knight was severly in the wrong, as was his whiney wife. I'm happy to
hear the Crown and other Chivalry were on the accused's side in this. The
challenged also had one other recourse. The asking of a Champion. I'm sure
someone would have assisted. Or at least the next time this knight was in
a tournament a shot that was aimed at his head could have "accidentaly"
nailed the neck or shoulder instead. Or a body shot could have been a little
harder than usual.

Sometimes a lout just needs a good spanking. Of course the fact that he
got no support from his peers may have been a bit of an education as well.
