If Your Grace Wants to do a Dirty Trick
"If your grace wants to do a dirty trick, it is in fencing or in brawling, in dagger and rappier alike, then use nothing more than these words, 'I won't fight with the two of you, rather only with one' and when he wants to look around, he comes up short, and you can thrust him through and through, also hurt him in cutting, when he is not quite at the door, and is said rightly: 'Offer your enemy the face, do not trust him too much,' that is to say, a correct deception, in fencing or in brawling, you can also do it as a past time, when your grace has the pleasure in a challenge, however in dire need and in great misfortune these techniques are also good to use." - Michael Hundt, 17th C. Fencing Master
