Abstrakty
In his scientific study, the author undertook to clarify the issue of duels in Slovakia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which was paid little attention in Slovak historiography so far, and only in the perimeter of the officer’s environment. The author has extended the range of attention to civilians as well. On the basis of the analysis of legal norms of the era and the subsequent presentation of duels in the period press, the study provides an interesting insight into the phenomenon of the “duel of honour”, which was already an anachronism at the time, but despite the efforts of the relevant authorities it could not be eradicated. What is valuable is the author’s observation that although the legal norms stipulated relatively severe penalties for duels, the practice at the beginning of the new century was diametrically opposed, with each duel being specific and unique. They were not dominated by killings or serious injuries, and the punishments were also very light, mostly a few days of imprisonment.
