- Alexander Pushkin. You can find some of his poems here (translated even!). Here are the details of the duel from wikipedia: D’Anthès met also Pushkin and his wife, Natalya (“Natasha”), a beautiful flirtatious young woman, who had many admirers. D’Anthès courted her in such a way that Pushkin threatened him verbally. D’Anthès then married Natalya’s own sister, Ekaterina Goncharova, on January 10 1837. It is questionable whether d’Anthès’s engagement and marriage to Natalya’s sister was devised to contradict society gossip that he was in pursuit of Natalya. In any event, this was not enough to soothe the conflict between the two new brothers-in-law, especially since an anonymous letter went round, nominating Pushkin Deputy Grand Master and Historiograph of the Order of Cuckolds. His furious jealousy made him write an insulting letter to d’Anthès’ adoptive father[3]. Pushkin having refused to withdraw these abuses, a duel became inevitable.
On the evening of 8 February 1837, d’Anthès shot first, mortally wounding Pushkin in the stomach. Pushkin, who had fought several duels, managed to rise and shoot at d’Anthès, however, only lightly wounding him in the right arm. As he lay on his deathbed, Pushkin sent a message to d’Anthès pardoning him of any wrong doing. d’Anthès, who was barely wounded, only laughed lightly and said, “Well, tell him that I forgive him, too.”
God, I love duels.
