Known as an "emancipated duel," it was a private event for women only. Baroness Lubinska, physician for the famous 1892 duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and Countess Anastasia Kielmannsegg suggested they duel topless to prevent infection. It was feared that if the swords pierced their clothing, fabric fibers could enter the wound and cause infection. By removing their tops, they ensured cleaner cuts and easier medical care.
