From 1588 to 160 1, the duel in France was a disaster. In 20 years, 8,000 nobles and gentlemen in Paris were killed in the duel. If you don't agree, you will decide to fight. "Let's go to the suburbs" has become the most familiar challenge language. The heavy casualties of the upper class led to the vigilance and fear of the royal family and nobles. Li Sailiu, the prime minister of French King Louis XIII, issued a duel ban, but even the execution of a duke in 1627 failed to quell the duel fever. In order to satisfy people's duel fever without hurting people, people designed a lightsaber with four sides.
Around 1643, King Louis XIV of France made unified regulations on fencing costumes and equipment in France at that time, and made the six swordsmen with the oldest qualifications in Paris hereditary aristocrats, thus creating a precedent for French fencing schools, and fencing took shape as a sports competition.
