 A far more chivalric duel which became popular in the Late Middle Ages was the "pas d'armes" or "passage of arms".In this hastilude, a knight or a group of knights would claim a bridge, lane or city gate, and challenge other passing knights to fight or be disgraced.If a lady passed unescorted, she would leave behind a glove or scarf, to be rescued and returned to her by a future knight who passed that way.
