Rogues Gallery Uncovered

Duel Personality - Charles Mohun 1712


Listen Later

Have a ringside seat as two 18th century gentlemen hack each other to pieces over an argument.

It's a savagely violent tale of bombast, bloodletting and brutality as obnoxious aristocratic duellist Charles Mohun, Baron Mohun picks fights with anyone who gets in his way.
But has he bitten off more than he can stab?

  • Pistols or swords- which is his favourite?
  • Was it always a duel to the death?
  • Did he adhere to the code of duelling ?
  • Why was he such a prick?

Find out in episode 20 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.

A typically eccentric member of the English Aristocracy, he scandalised Restoration England with his violent feuds, fatal duels, and unhinged behaviour. An English peer who fought as many legal battles as he did swordfights, this argumentative stalwart of London society cut more than a dash through the court of Queen Anne. 
If you're looking for a fight, you'll enjoy this episode.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
