TIL In 1818, an Englishman was accused of murder claimed the right to trial by combat. To everyone's surprise, the law granting him that right was still valid, and he was acquitted when his accuser declined to appear on the "field of honor." Trial by combat was abolished the next year.

Update from the Goldsmith Championship Nordic Gold
The finished Brooch
The weels are turnable. This was A LOT of work to do in only 22 hours, at least when trying to do it perfectly as well as fast. I did not finish unfortunately. I didn't get to put the tiny wire clasps on top that holds it all together. I think about 4 people out of 10 finished it. It's designed by T&A Design, two Danish designers. We all had to do the same task.
