The Dog of Montargis

Marquer readied himself in the sand as the crowd began to chant FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!! This make shift arena hastily scrambled together might very well be his grave. As the kings guard came in they equipped him with a weapon to defend himself against his opponent. As his nerves steadied and his mind came into sharp focus he told himself “All I need to do is kill him and then I will have gotten away with it” Images flashed in his mind of a forest and the battered body of Aubrey and of his hands digging up a shallow grave to hide his horrific deed and then quickly the image of the one witness to his crime came sharply into his mind. This trial by combat would be his only way to be free of all suspicion, all he needed to do was kill his witness here and he would walk away a free man. His thoughts changed as the crowd roared but all of that noise began to fade as he heard his opponents growl from across the arena. A primal fear erupted into Marquer and his hair began to stand up on its own as he heard his witness growl, thoughts of escape came quickly and he searched for an exit but alas the only way out was by finishing the job he had started in that forest. Marquer had only a split second to respond once the battle commenced as his opponent rushed at him trying to grab at his neck, he dashed to the side barely avoiding a fatal blow but his opponent, with inhuman speed, rebounded back and caught Marquers neck with his teeth. As the teeth sank in Marquer could feel the searing pain it was causing him and began screaming out as he could feel his own blood begin to drip down into his opponent’s maw until at last he screamed “ILL CONFESS! ILL CONFESS JUST GET THIS DAMNED DOG OFF OF ME!” After Marquer screamed that; his opponent released his grip and went back to his new master and received the best belly rub of his life oh yes he did what a good boy he was!Join us today on Historical Quarrels as I give you the full context to the murder of Aubrey de Montididier and his loyal greyhound who would avenge his masters murder in what has to be one of the craziest potentially true crime stories I have ever learned about.
