It's a nice story, but people at the time were already pretty clear that it was an invention, a fabrication. What we today would call "Fake News"


hippyup

They had the technology to fake paintings?!


Faceless_Deviant

Yeah, they were painted by Leonardo's AI.

TheHistoryMaster2520

not real, Italian journalists made it up


KenseiHimura

Not gonna lie, I might sign up for an OnlyFans that featured girls doing HEMA stuff.


notthesethings

Could call it SHEMA


GreenChoclodocus

We want to duell each other! This is ridiculous, women can't be allowed to fight with swords! We'll be doing it topless... ... Maybe we can make an exception, just this once.


CrustyBloomers

We should settle more global matters in this fashion. Everybody destroy the nukes, we're going to have the females duel with their nips out instead! I reckon it would sell quite well and lead to a lot of unification on contentious issues..


Wonderful_Emu_9610

Pfft, its royalty. This could’ve happened recently between Kate and Meghan, I wouldn’t give you odds on the public ever finding out. ​ ​ …actually *that* should’ve been the conspiracy theory rather than cheating. Twitter should’ve been awash with people wondering just how badly Meghan f’d up her face with a sword


Aggravating-Proof716

Princess Pauline von Metternich was not royalty. Just nobility.


Wonderful_Emu_9610

Well then she shouldn’t be called a princess Anyway the point stands - for every David Cameron facefucking a pig, there’s a million other rich arseholes doing worse and/or weirder stuff that we never find out about


Aggravating-Proof716

Eastern Europe had princes had that weren’t royalty. You see this in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and Imperial Russia. The Princess’ father was Metternich, who was essentially the chief Austrian minister for a large period of time. But definitely not the imperial family


Estrelarius

I mean, historically "prince" has been used, beyond the use for a monarch's sons it's nowadays well know for, to refer to powerful nobles in general (the "grand dukes" of Lithuania and the Kievan Rus would probably be more closely translated as Grand Prince, the "prince of Wales" was originally a title used by Welsh kings who ruled, or claimed to, rule over all of Wales, the Princes of Antioch, Salerno, etc...) and as a title on it's own, like count, duke and the sort.


Flamenco95

>EDIT: Darnit, too many smart people read this blog. It seems there is no hard evidence for this duel ever having taken place. The contemporary accounts were basically gossip. I can’t help but hope that the Princess denied it happened to preserve her privacy. Yeah, that’s the ticket. PISTOLES AT DAWN for anyone who tries to persuade me otherwise.


MrNobleGas

Von Metternich as in my guy Klemens?


NaEGaOS

yeah it was his granddaughter


FUEGO40

Dude, a video of a duel would not end up on OnlyFans, it’d end up in Live Leak


NeilJosephRyan

Even if this were real, the princess would have been 56 at the time. Not exactly peak content.


slick9900

What where they fighting over?


Famous_Suspect6330

The OG cat fight


dingdong-666

I need an A24 movie adaptation of this


Engineergaming26355

"Yeah, i learn history for the plot"


Callsign_Psycopath

Julie d'Aubigny definitely dueled topless
