Here is my reaction to the trailer about the up coming Medieval film The Last Duel starring Matt Damon as Jean de Carrouges, Adam Driver as Jacques Le Gris, Jodie Comer as Marguerite de Carrouges, Ben Affleck as Count Pierre d'Alençon, Harriet Walter as Nicole de Buchard, Nathaniel Parker as Sir Robert de Thibouville, Sam Hazeldine as Thomin du Bois, Michael McElhatton as Bernard Latour, Alex Lawther as King Charles VI.
In 14th-century France, Marguerite de Thibouville claims she's been assaulted by her husband's best friend. Her husband, knight Jean de Carrouges challenges his friend and squire Jacques Le Gris, to trial by combat. It is the last legally sanctioned duel in France's history. But is this film historical? Did duels really happen like that in the Middle Ages?
