Dr Bob shows you what it was really like when historical disputes were settled with raw violence. Beyond the romanticized myths of chivalric duels and honorable samurai lies a gritty, harrowing reality of dirty tactics, desperation, and unimaginable brutality.
In this immersive historical countdown, we explore the most epic 1 V 1 battles that spanned the globe and centuries. From a medieval trial by combat that ended with a bone-crushing, groin-ripping fatality, to a legendary Japanese master arriving late to split his rival's skull with a carved wooden oar, discover the true, unvarnished history of single combat.
Witness King Robert the Bruce cleaving an English knight's head in two at Bannockburn, a royal fight to the death on the backs of war elephants in Siam, and a bizarrely modern sword fight between French politicians in the 1960s. Finally, we explore the ultimate, bloody climax: the violent, bullet-riddled dueling history of U.S. President Andrew Jackson, and the heavy price paid by those who dared to challenge the honor of history's deadliest men.
