The soldier, Charles Mohun, 4th Baron Mohnun was notorious. He fought his first duel at fifteen and a few days later was involved in a brutal murder. The whole fashionable world attended the trial at which he was acquitted. Over the next six years he fought more duels and killed another two men, one in a drunken brawl. Found guilty, he was saved by the King's pardon. He finally met his end in a duel, but not before killing his opponent.
