To be fair considering the religious norms of the time, the ‘God favours the right’ point probably sunk into a lot of knights heads and affected their game. The logic was probably more accurate than expected 😂
if i were a judge for a duel i'd give the combatants a goose and a chicken as weapons just to mess with them.. prolly they'll feel so baffled or incredulous the guilty party would confess
Theoretically, we could still have trials by combat, but only under very narrow circumstances. If the wronged parties are justifiably confident in their fighting ability against each other and both agree, too little concrete evidence to determine guilt in either direction by other means, the nature of the offense is personal and not tangentially affecting several additional parties.

Duels were definitely happening in Britain before the invasion of the Normans.
I wish feud still determine right or wrong nowadays. I know how to fight.

What an incredibly logical judicial system.
wasn't the last duel ever in 1970s in France?????? It was televised.
Duels were very common in Arabia before islam too
Too bad they couldn’t just flip a coin and say that god chose heads or tails
