“Defendant invokes the common law writ of right and demands his common law right to Trial By Combat as against plaintiffs and their counsel, whom plaintiff wishes to implead into the Trial By Combat by writ of right,” the court filing states.

Luthmann then goes into detail about the history of trial by combat, going all the way back to the 11th century. Ultimately, Luthmann argues that the no U.S. court has ever outlawed the practice.

“Since [1776], no American court in post-independence United States to the undersigned’s knowledge has addressed the issue, and thus the trial by combat remains a right reserved to the people and a valid alternative to civil action,” Luthmann writes.

Trials by combat was a major deal in “Game of Thrones.” Several characters died fighting to the death especially in season 4 when Tyrion Lannister called on Oberyn Martell to serve as his champion when Tyrion was accused of poisoning his nephew Joffery.
