Fleuretten er oprindeligt baseret på den franske adels sværd der blev indført i det 17. århundrede af Kong Louis XIV.
The foil is based on the French court sword which came into existence late in the 17th century at the court of King Louis XIV. Fashions at this time decreed the wearing of silks and satins, and the long trailing rapier was no longer elegant enough for the court of the Sun King. However, the court sword was extremely light and fast and soon became the standard fencing weapon - the foil is the blunted practice version. Because the risk of eye injury was so great, rules were introduced so that hits were restricted to the right breast, and the attack/parry right-of-way convention became commonplace - these increasingly stylised conventions remained even after the introduction of the mask (in Europe anyway) in 1750. |
