A moral tale contrasts duelling with Christian forgiveness as two African youths at the French court rise to defend honour. The narrative leads to a critique of battlefield pride and a call to abandon duels. It also records a royal order altering prayers for the Royal Family in the Common Prayer to reflect current titles and names.
