The earliest form of dueling was the clash of mounted knights armed with lances in medieval tournaments. These duels were often purely sporting affairs in which special nonlethal lances were used. They provided entertainment for the spectators and kept the knights in good condition for battle. In Elizabethan days, duels no longer took place on horse back, and the lance was exchanged for a sword and dagger. The sword was held in the right hand and used for attacking, while the dagger was held in the left hand and used for defense. Dueling with swords as a means to decide a point of honor became obsolete with the invention of pistols. Pistols brought about a whole new set of rules and etiquette unique to that form of dueling.
