What would happen if I challenged the queen to a dual?

Question

She will kick my a.r.s.e? I don't think so buster

Answer 1

Whilst your question is somewhat frivolous, I shall attempt to give a reasonable answer. Firstly, the Royal Marines do not protect the Queen; this is done by the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department of the London Metropolitan Police, with the Queen's Police Officer being responsible for her personal protection.
Secondly, the word is "duel" with an "e", not "dual", which means comprising of two.
Quite how you might challenge Her Majesty to such a duel I don't know. Let us say, for example, you sent a letter to Buckingham Palace suggesting such a duel. The letter would most likely be opened and read by a Private Secretary or Lady-in-Waiting. If they believed your message to be a threat it would be passed on to the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department for further investigation. Now let us assume that your letter is though to be a credible threat, the possibility exists that charges may be brought against you under Section 2 of the Treason Act 1842. This ancient law is still very much in effect, as was shown in the 1981 trial of Marcus Sarjeant, in which he was found guilty of wilfully discharging a revolver near the person of the Queen with intent to alarm her. So, should your act be found to have intended to alarm the Queen, then that would be a plausible outcome.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend it. Chances are that your letter would simply be thrown away if you were just "asking" for a duel, but if you were threatening one, then that could be an entirely different matter...

Answer 2

The reining monache never fort in a duel but had a champion.
The Honourable Queen's Champion is an office held in grand serjeanty by the owner of the Manor of Scrivelsby since 1066. He is also Standard-Bearer of England.

The office was originally granted to Robert Marmyon, along with the castle and manor of Tamworth and the Manor of Scrivelsby in 1066. From then until the nineteenth century the officer's role was to act as champion for the King at his coronation, in the unlikely event that someone gainsaid the new King's title to the throne. The Champion was required to ride in full armor into Westminster Hall during the coronation banquet, escorted by the Earl Marshal and the Lord High Constable, all in full dress, robes and coronets, and await the challenge to all comers. The King himself could not fight in single combat against anyone except an equal. This trial by combat remained purely ceremonial and had a central place in the coronation banquet.

By 1377 the male line of the Marmyons had died out, and in that year the office of King's Champion at the coronation of King Richard II was fulfilled by Sir John Dymoke, who had married Margaret Marmyon, the heiress of the Marmyon family, and so held the Manor of Scrivelsby. The claim by Sir Baldwin de Freville, who then held the Manor of Tamworth, was rejected.

In later years, the Garter King of Arms read out the challenge, and the Champion threw down the gauntlet at the entrance to Westminster Hall, then again in the middle of the Hall, and lastly at the foot of the Throne, each time repeating the challenge. Each time the gauntlet was recovered by Garter. The Champion was rewarded with a gilt, covered cup, the King or Queen Regnant having first drunk to the Champion from it.

It is alleged that the challenge was actually accepted in 1689 by an old woman, supposedly a noted Jacobite swordsman in disguise, who challenged the Dymoke of the day to combat next day in Hyde Park. There is no evidence to support this claim. Equally, rumour reported that in 1764 a white lady's kid glove fluttered down into the Hall, supposedly from a Jacobite.

If the Champion fought, and won, he got as his fee the armour he wore, and the horse he rode (the second best in the Royal Mews), both of which were on loan.

The words of the challenge varied over the years, but those used for King George IV were these:

"If any person, of whatever degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord George, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, son and next heir unto our Sovereign Lord the last King deceased, to be the right heir to the imperial Crown of this realm of Great Britain and Ireland, or that he ought not to enjoy the same; here is his Champion, who saith that he lieth, and is a false traitor, being ready in person to combat with him, and in this quarrel will adventure his life against him on what day soever he shall be appointed."

In 1831 no coronation banquet was held, so the King's Champion was not called upon to act, although in 1902 his claim was admitted by the Court of Claims, and he was given the Standard of England to bear.

The current and 34th Lord of the Manor of Scrivelsby, 7th Lord of the Manor of Telford, and of the Manor of Scrivelsby, Thornton and Dadderby, patron of the living of Scrivelsby-***-Dadderby, and Queen's Champion is Lieutenant-Colonel John Lindley Marmion Dymoke, MBE DL Royal Lincolnshire Regiment. He acted as Standard-Bearer of England at the coronation service of Her Majesty The Queen in 1953.

His eldest son and heir is Francis Dymoke, a chartered accountant.
