Combination of it barely being taught in schools and this weird contempt we have for our heritage. Ireland has put a lot of effort into preserving theirs. And they had Sinead O’Connor - she did a lot of the heavy lifting all by herself 😅
Same with languages. Scots Gaelic has all but died out in the highlands. Now its just a cultural relic and an annoyance. Search for news stories about the Gaelic road signs - they caused a massive stir.
Irish on the other hand - nearly died out but their government really pushed it in schools, the media etc. Poured real money into it. Its fairly widely spoken now.
They should never have banned dueling for the lords. If anything they should have kept dueling not only legal, but the only way they can retain their honor after any slight.
Also we need their duels to be public events sponsored by firearms companies and first aid kits for ballistic trauma!
I just read a little bit about it. Fuck! How did this stay under the rug for so damn long!

Because the aristocracy is still in place. The house of lords should burn.

it was never legal on paper, but it was tradition to judges to let free the winner (murderer) of the duel if the duel followed proper etique
