Captain Mavrogordate's Mystery Duel in 1848.

Whilst clearing out the workshops yesterday, a process we do to keep on top of all the accumulated bits and pieces and keep the work benches looking reasonably clear and tidy. An old cabinet was moved and this framed notice fell out of the back where it must have been lodged for many years.

Duel with Pistols

We have no idea about the history of this duel and disgraceful events which followed. If anyone can shed some historical light on Captain Mavrogordate and this duel I am sure it will be of interest!

    This was very close to when duelling in the UK came to an end. It may well be that the duel never took place and that the ‘disgraceful events’ occurred, either as a result or subsequently.

    I could find no reference to the said Captain after doing several trawls through the internet. Anyone else able to solve this fascinating mystery?
