The Last Duel

The Knight Jean de Carrouges must settle the dispute over his wife Marguerite by challenging his former friend to a duel to the death.

Based on actual events, the film centers on the accusation by Marguerite de Carrouges that she was brutally assaulted by Jacques Le Gris, her husband Jean de Carrouges’s friend. In order to protect his pride and prove his wife’s claim, de Carrouges requests to fight Le Gris to the death.

Now, all three lives hang in the balance in this society that holds that the victor of this grisly duel will be determined by God. Moreover, if de Carrouges dies in this fight, Marguerite will be put to death. Also starring Ben Affleck as Le Gris’ scheming ally, the Count d’Alençon, this gripping, cinematic story is based on Eric Jager’s book "The Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal, and Trial by Combat in Medieval France."
