On the morning of November 15, 1712, the fourth Baron Mohun and the fourth Duke of Hamilton met in Hyde Park. In a flurry of brutal swordplay both fell mortally wounded. Mohun and Hamilton had argued over money and stood at opposite ends of a bitterly divided political spectrum (Whig versus Tory, Englishman versus Scot). Victor Stater uses their famous duel to create a stunning narrative of life and death in a time when incivility and moral turpitude reigned beneath a thin veneer of aristocratic manners.
