Featuring the rapier and dagger set from the En Garde series.
Rapier and dagger play was quite prevalent on the continent and even in England during the Elizabethan period. Every gentleman carried a dagger and many carried rapiers. Due to this, a standard combination for duels was rapier and dagger.
This style of fence was only used by masters playing their prize in London (according to all existing records). Below master level the rapier was rarely employed for the playing of prizes (London Masters of Defense).

The most fascinating thing I find about the Rapier and Dagger combination was that The French Musketeers were the ones who first developed it in to an actual 'fighting technique' and conquered a fair bit of Europe with such a simplistic fighting style where the Rapier was almost like a distraction while the dagger was meant for when they got up close and personal to where their opponent wouldn't have a chance of doing damage with their own rapier from being so close..... Sorry if I seemed to just mumble on and on
