Charles Gray: Pierre De Foix

Quotes 

• De Foix : Saddle the horses. We're leaving this accursed city. I'm going back to a world where chivalry is more important than science. And a man's honor is measured by the length of his sword arm.

• De Foix : You can't use this fiendish device in a duel.

  Marco del Monte : Why not. The code says I may use anything I wish provided I supply you with an identical weapon.

  De Foix : If we fire this thing at each other at 20 paces between us, we shall both be killed!

  Marco del Monte : Of course we'll both be killed.

  De Foix : I suspect you of madness.

  Marco del Monte : Oh, sir, it would be madness if I chose swords or battle axes because then I would die and you would live. Oh, but with this weapon, when the smoke clears over the field of honor, we shall both be dead. The great Pierre de Foix has fought 117 duels without defeat - I shall go down in history as the first man who ever fought him to a tie.
