Jean de Carrouges
Sir Jean de Carrouges IV (c. 1330s — 1396) was a French knight. He governed the estates of Normandy as a vassal Count Pierre II of Alençon and who served under Admiral Jean de Vienne in several campaigns against England. He was famous for one of last permitted judicial duels by the king of France (the last one was in 1547[1]). The combat was done in 1386 because his former friend, Jacques le Gris committed rape on his wife.
