Turning an m1 garand into a piece of jewelry is a sin
Solid Proof of all your claims is required.
History has to have solid facts to prove it true.. Do you have any?
@@williamfoster2681 its alot better to recycle metals than to just peave em to rot. BTW, thoses rifles are plentiful enough that just a few years back, they'd sell for less than a 100$ CANADIAN money. Plenty of them means plenty of scrap, bad, unusable metal - yes even uns7able as a wall hanger! Please, think a bit further before you post such 'deep' comment. A 'sin'.. Pffff. The rifles mean nothing, the many barrel replacement they had thru the years also mean nothing. The real sin is the purpose for what they were built. The purpose, not the object and what is being done with scraps of them. Please... help us all by swallowing thoses unhelpful emotions, you'll b3 the first one to benefit from that im certain.
BTw, i couldnt careless about them stupid rings, or any rings. Garands are just a product of time and so are you, me, Michael Jordan and my 1972 GMC big block. Thanks for your time.
Once he called him a "scoundrel" I knew shit was gonna get seriously out of hand
It was the "Blackguard" that made me clutch my pearls.
I nearly spilled my tea out of sheer surprise, my ladies face was aghast with Shock, never had such crudeness been orated in front of her

Moral of the story. Be careful who’s honor you’re fighting for.
Given that you're holding a pistol in your profile photo, it seems you know of what you speak of, kind sir 😂
A girl worth fighting for, just not dying for.
@@symmetrymilton4542 Yeah and when you die for her, she finds herself someone else within a year lol
@@mustardbiscuits9750 Yes, love is rarely as serious as it seems, a bit like life itself
@@symmetrymilton4542 either for me maybe back then but not the woman of today your shot dead and she still sleeps around
My father had a set of French duelling pistols - interestingly, the bore on the barrels of both pistols was offset, so at the average duelling distance, they would shoot a couple of feet to the left of the target - Of course if they were your pistols, you would know that and adjust your aim accordingly, while your opponent would aim as normal and miss. Damn cunning those Frogs. It's a cruel world.
I always thought people brought their own.
That's the typical French honour showing true.
As a French person, I challenge you to a duel😡
@@Minskpotato Will the pistol you give me have skewed sights, barrel, firing mechanism or dual pressure trigger?

A joke that I read somewhere.
A young husband came home from a long travel abroad to find his best friend in bed with his beloved wife. He reproached his friend for such heinous act but his friend said he was the one the woman really loves and that the husband should concede. Enraged, the husband challenged his best friend to a pistol duel in the living room and the friend accepted. Somehow, by the time they entered the living room they had calmed down and decided that it was not necessary to destroy their long term friendship over this. So they discussed and reached an agreement that they would each fire a shot into the ceiling and lay down on the floor. When the woman come to them, the first person she went to check would be the one she loves, and the other one should concede. When the woman heard the gun shots she rushed to the living room, stood at the entrance and saw both men laying there motionless. She then rushed back to the bedroom, stood in front of the closet and said,"Honey, you can come out now. They are both dead!"
Ouf... That's a good/bad one.
Bro, where did the friend get hyenas? 💀💀💀💀
plot twist: there was a mirror on the closet and she was telling herself to come out of the closet bcos all along she was really a lesbian
@@Brother_K Hehehe, I believe he was trying to say heinous. The joys of autocorrect.
Boomer humer jeez
This man said “I’m off to France” after bodying a dude who tried to get with his girl. That’s sone cold shit 😂😭
That's such a badass one liner.
A Royal Marine is muscle for the Crown. One would expect no less.
He was attempting to evade arrest like the coward he was.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Wished you'd lived in Paris at the time, and I could read what happened to you after you said that to his face. That would be some funny shit.
@@DrCruel He ran off to evade arrest. I'm sure you'd do the same.
Isabella was the true villain in all of this.
How?
it's kinda wild that a man would rather duel another man in an attempt to "keep" his wife than just accepting that his wife is unfaithful (& also to blame) and moves on.
@@halla7328 Seeing how Isabella separated from her husband later in life, Isaac probably means she should have separated from him much earlier if she really did fancy other men
Not that this takes any blame from Mr. Hawkey
People just don't like cheaters is all
@@halla7328 because she was a 304 who couldn't be loyal to her man?
No choice but to stan

The surgeon Robert Liston was a very importantman. He invented the Liston knife, a surgical knife used for amputation. It increased the chance of survival drastically.
He was also about a year out from pioneering general anesthetic. Seton missed the boat on that one. The famed Joseph Lister was also one of his students!
fun fact: There are still pistol duels taking place in hungary with austrian university students. But in germany and most of austria since the 19th century we switched to swords with a tight set of rules that make fatal injuries almost impossible. But if you are seeing a german with a scar in his face there is a high chance that he dueled before.
Heidelberg scar
@@christianoliver1942 Exactly, I even live in Heidelberg, but still without a scar ;)
So that would be the moron of the group
Is this the same thing or in any way similar to the mensur scars?
@@rustomkanishka Yes it's from the mensur.
"im off to France" after shooting some is absolutely one of the hardest lines ever
I would rather hang than go to france at that time....
And i feel like i'd probably hang if i went there now.... I've shared the expensive watch meme a few too many times
Pray you don’t find a woman like Isabella.
Stay safe out there kings.

7:47 I like how the dramatic, elegant music just cuts off as the narrator is like: "Ey yo, he beat the dog shit outta his ass with a stick."
Jody is one of the constants of military life through the ages.
Hawkey was as "on sight" as it gets. Or for that time period it was probably, "Upon thine presence!"
More like "Next time I see you"
It wasn't on sight though Hawkey let Seton slide multiple times before challenging him to a duel
It was the mid-nineteenth century, Casey, not the bloody sixteenth. Queen Victoria was on the throne. England had a substantial and rapidly growing railway network. Darwin was working on the Origin of Species. That very year saw the launch of the SS Great Britain, an iron-built steam liner able to complete the transatlantic crossing in two weeks.
This was the industrial era; the beginning of modernity. Nobody said "Upon thine presence!"
@@baerlauchstal Well said
@@baerlauchstal it was just a joke lol put your encyclopedia away
Duels were so prevalent in eighteenth century Ireland that the country was described as being "knee deep in blood." They were hugely problematic as they often got way out of hand and were fought over the smallest infractions. James Kelly's 'That damn thing called honor' is a fantastic book on it.
Can confirm, that is a fantastic read
I will absolutely look into this book...thank you!
@mike devaney absolutely do, I used it as part of a thesis a few years ago and can confirm there is no more comprehensive study on duelling in Ireland.
Dunno if checked out the face on otto skorzensky. The German upper classes would form fencing clubs for young men, and some would end up with cut up faces. It was considered a badge of honour.
@@Admiralofthedeeps absolutely thanks for the shout!
I finished listening to "The Count of Monte Cristo" a couple of weeks back, and Alexandre Dumas captures the particulars of duels in great detail and accuracy. Of course, Dumas was a contemporary, or would have known those who were. Still, word for word, your retelling of the event matches the culture represented in the book to the letter. There is even a situation in the book where someone tries to duel someone who has no interest, and to provoke them into it, attempts to insult them publicly to force their hand.
I'm reading the book right now as well! Damn fine bit of literature if I do say so myself, no wonder it's a classic
Which edition are you reading?
Extremely well done. The graphics were stunning, the voice over carried the perfect level of 'gravitas' and 'horror-chord'. Impressed!
Isabella was 4 da streetz
😂
Srs tho she got like 3 men killed fr fr
The more things change, the more women stay the same.
@@chico9805 Ain't been touched my dude?
@@spicytrash4981 No, I haven't been touched by my uncle. Shame the same can't be said for you.
As a serving royal marine commando I’d like to thank you of sharing Hawkey’s story I hadn’t heard it before and I doubt many people within the Royal Marines have. Nonetheless it’s very informative and it’d be great if you looked deeper into the Royal Marines history for a future video or something. Thanks
Also a serving Royal Marine and I fully agree. Brilliant channel and the corps has so much history which would fit these videos perfectly.
Thank you for your service gentlemen.
Are all royal marines commandos?
I was told that marines are considered special forces in some nato countries because unlike US marines, other marines focus on beach raiding still
Anyways correct me where I'm wrong.
@@helpimstuck9410 realized I should have @u
This art is amazing! The one of the duel in front of the shadowed buildings gave me chills.
Confederate Civil War soldier Sam Watkins wrote in his book "Company Aytch" of a duel he witnessed during the war. He described the scene as the Confederate and Federal armies were camped on opposite banks of a fairly short river. Conversations between the two sides were common and normally friendly, but a Union soldier began to mock the president of the Confederacy decision of removing a beloved General of command and replacing him with a man of much less popularity. Soon a heated argument broke out between the Union soldier and a man who was with Sam at the time, the Confederates calling him a liar without honor. Eventually, a duel was agreed upon, if both sides agreed to let the situation be played out between only the 2 men without any other interference. The 2 men had stepped out into the open, each armed with their rifles (which were pretty much the exact same) and waited for the command to begin. Once the order of "FIRE!" was shouted, both men began to fire away. Both men were able to load and shoot 7 times before the Federal soldier shot the Confederate in the chest and hitting the man heart, killing him instantly. Sam described the moment as, "the poor confederate was dead before his body hit the ground."
RIP Sir Hawkey, a man of honor until the end.
How? He was clearly violent and lacked any self control.
@@boarbot7829 Not really but alright

"I'm off to France" what a baller
19th century way of saying "Aight imma head out"
@@joesephjoestar4449 No, I think it's more the noble's/rich kid equivalent of saying 'I'm gonna go hide at my uncles house". He fled, he just had money to do it so it sounded cooler. Like if Elon Musk hit someone with his car and then announced "I'm off to the moon", it's not because he's gangster, it's because he's running away... with a lot of money.
@@dishonoredundead idk, sounds pretty fking cool. And Elon would go to Mars. The moon is for losers, like Richard Branson.
@@dishonoredundead To be fair would Elon willingly face death and then ask for another roll of the dice?
@@randymagnum143
> Elon would go to Mars.
Well I'm sure he'd like to, but it seems he really can't.
Interesting story. But be careful with tungsten carbide rings - they can become a real problem. If you hurt your hand and the finger swells, its really difficult to get the ring off. That can complicate the treatment.
7:23 That was the last *fatal* duel. The last and final duel on English soil took place on 17 february 1946 between two Polish officers. They used sabres and nobody died although one was wounded.
Non fatal duels still occur, but they usually use fists.
@@noblestsavage1742 Well if you consider ordinary fights duels, then the most recent fatal one would probably be within the past 10 minutes
@@the_Overture Does somebody getting shanked in the gut in london count as a saber duel?

Yet another wonderful, informative story that would have otherwise never been beknownst to me. The narration and story telling is truly exceptional, dare I say masterful; no other channel immerses me in a tale the way that History Dose does and I must give credit where credit is due. Let us hope that this, and all future videos, will thrive on CZcams's algorithm in spite of unwarranted demonization and age restriction.
Never stop making these. These stories you've told I've fallen in love with. You give glimpses at history and humanize them to become relatable and easier to gain a perspective to how things really were back in those times. You've found your niche, never leave it dear sir.
This 'over the shoulder' depiction at 5:10 is magnificent.
Joseph is a truly outstanding.
The moment I have enough saved, I shall buy several prints. I hope this will be one.
The woman who caused the dispute was delighted by the men fighting over her.
the motif used in Barry Lyndon right as they continue to duel is a nice touch
The tyranny of beauty once again left a trail of broken hearts, dreams and lives in its wake.
Just your standard 304
these videos are always amazing. the only problem i have is that ive seen them all and want even more lol. the art, reading, writing, and editing always has me captivated.
I have often called for the return of the pistol duel.
I wonder if poor Seton fellow thought that Isabella was worth all the pain and misery he endured in the last days of his life.
Seton lived the last moments of his life as the living embodiment of "fuck around and find out".

@@georgedoorley5628 Rode rage.
Yes, that was a truly horrific way to die.
Wdym ‘ poor seaton’ ? He actively tried to take another mans wife and acted like a true dickhead. He had it coming
This is the perfect video. I've just finished reading The Count Of Monte Cristo, and always wondered what duels would be like in those times. Thank you!
France actually continued using swords for duels throughout the 19th century! If you like the Count of Monte Cristo, check out our video on the author Alexandre Dumas’ father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas
great book!
@@HistoryDose Thank you for your reply, I believe the did, and like England I believe it was illegal(ish) too? Your video on Thomas Dumas IS the reason I read the Count of Monte Cristo, I've been subbed for a while now.
Read/watch "The Duelists/The Duel" if you haven't already and find the subject interesting
@@Dive2005 I wish you had been here a few days ago, just started Crime and Punishment, will read that after. Thanks!
Handels "Sarabande" as used in the duelling scenes of the film Barry Lyndon🌹(1975) Beautiful film.
That's some insane good story telling. Incredible work!
A threat by horsewhipping would have me disheveled and taken aback as well. I can concur Sir Seton’s actions as measurable 🤵🏽♂️
horsewhipping sounds unpleasant but is a distant second to dying of sepsis after suffering in agony for two weeks.
@@sburns2421 But MUCH more dishonourable. No gentleman could allow such a threat to go unanswered, let alone allow it to be carried out.
@@brucetucker4847- then I guess I am not a gentleman. I would not have ignored the threat, though. I would have informed the local authorities and Mr. Hawkeys superior of the illegal threat being made to my person. And then I would laugh my ass of as he was stripped of his colours for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and I would buy a ring for Isabella with the restitution money from the legal case.
As it is often said, revenge is a dish best server icy cold.
@@JanBruunAndersen I was talking about the social norms of that day. Today we have a very different concept of what it means to be a gentleman.
@@brucetucker4847 - I have tried hard to never be a slave or a submissive to society's social norms. I am not entirely sure if it was because I never managed to fit in, or because I instinctively rejected the call to adapt in order to fit in with the crowd. Either way, I wear my badge as a misfit with pride these days.
Just discovered your channel and I have to say your narration and editing is wonderful. A new favourite on youtube!
i really appreciate the sharp shift from melodrama to anti-climactic bluntness between 7:40 and 7:51, probably my favorite bit
You genuinely make the best historical videos on CZcams. The way you tell these stories and make use of audio and visual stimuli is amazing. Genuinely have me so engaged in things I wouldn’t otherwise.
I can’t wait to hear how my intestines would have been blasted out of my body through a foot wide hole in my abdomen because my friend and I both liked the same girl
Cool video. Hawkey and seaton's duel is truly an interesting subject when talking about dueling. I never knew about this infamous duel until now, so thank you for this history! 😊
between narration and the imagery you have one of the finest history channels
And then he beat him with a cane 😂😂 found that part hilarious
Hawkey taught him the timeless lesson of f around and find out.
Would love to see how you make videos like this behind the scene. Really love the style.
I like the commentary, elegant and restrained, it really gives you a sense of the epoch. Thumbs up Mister, you're doing a great job!
Thanks! I always try to write in a style that compliments the subject matter.
Jesus, man. Henry got done dirty.
"Scoundrel?" Oh, I fear my tears shall stain my petticoat!
That short pause directly followed by “Hawkey beat him with a cane.” was absolute comedy gold
This is the 3rd time I'm watching this in less than a day - as someone who exclusively listens to classical music, your music selection is *cheff's kiss* perfection!
Maybe we should compile a soundtrack for this one!
@@HistoryDose Absolutely!
That's pretty sad, tbh.
The mix of the art & narration of first hand accounts truly make this channel special! Absolutely love history!
Insanely remarkable channel! Please keep doing what you're doing!
It’s so awesome to put a face to the really eloquent voice that narrates so expertly 😊
This was a really cool episode I really enjoyed learning more about how these duels worked and how they viewed it back then ! Thanks for the info and time
Man the art in your videos keeps me coming back. Really beautiful. Makes for incredible visual accompaniment in contrast to regular history channels.
I love the artwork you guys use. The editing and narration is great too.
That was a super interesting story, thank you. I've never heard of this particular tragedy, someone should make a series or movie about it
I be at the crib doing backflips and somersaults when this damn channel uploads
Another incredible video as always that really captures an interesting and unknown story, these videos are genuinely perfect. The narration, the storytelling, and the visuals are just flawless. I don't know if you take requests but I would love to see a video about the pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao in the future, I think it would be amazing to see in your style.
Thank you for what you do.
Damn that was good stuff. The writing, delivery, original artwork, everything.
Wow. Isabella was the true villain in this story.
As always much appreciated and keep the great knowledge and content rolling in. Be well ✌🏾🤙🏾
It's one of the few channels where I liked a video before I even watched it and never got disappointed.
Binge watching this entire channel after finding out about it a couple days ago, incredible videos 🙏
What a great story teller. This was very interesting and informative!
Another great video. I LOVE the variety of your vids; your knowledge and insight on the subjects you present truly span time, distance, and culture. Keep it up brotha!!
Thanks! I try to keep the catalog varied!
I love these videos about relatively unknown stories and moments in history, but I have my fingers crossed for a video focusing on the Mongol defeat by the Mamluks
The Barry Lyndon music really brings it together. Well done
Thanks, I understand duels with pistols were often fought at even closer ranges, sometimes both duelists simply fired in the air, and honour was satisfied.
Isabella belonged to the cobblestoned streets.
Using music from Barry Lyndon was so fitting. Great choice
I was looking for this comment.
Brilliant presentation. Loved it.
Only defend the honour of someone whose honour is worth defending.

Duels still exist today in America. Their usually done in run down neighborhoods with glock switches and Dracos.
You're mistaking duels for attempted murders and murders. If the aggrieved party in the modern scenario was told he could enter a small room with his antagonist, both armed with pistols, neither party leaving until both had a fair turn at the other, I doubt he'd be as keen.
@@synchc You write well.
@@synchc you would be surprised. The ghettos very much operates like old England here... except that since violence is harshly punished, it's faster, random, and takes the form of urban guerilla warfare.
But honor.... yeah, street honor is a real thing. I came from that environment. If you don't fight back, people see you as weak... a target to be taken advantage of. You then have two choices: fight back, violently, or stay in the house the rest of your life.
