Nach der Art mit welcher gestern Du[a]<\/a> mir vor so vielen meiner Bekanten begegnetest, kann ich diese Beleidigung blo\u00df durch eine Abbitte vor denen n\u00e4mlichen Herrn, in deren Gegenwart ich dein, gegen mich so sehr untactm\u00e4\u00dfiges Betragen erfahren mu\u00dfte, ausges\u00f6hnt wissen.[b]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mein Name und meine Ehre setzt hiemit alles Ungl\u00fcckliche und Verderbliche was auch daraus f\u00fcr mich und meine Famille entstehen k\u00f6nnte, beiseiten, und wird dieses ungesittete Betragen, nach jeder Art zu r\u00e4chen wissen, wenn du weiter beharrtest dein gegen mich ver\u00fcbtes Unrecht nicht einsehen und wieder gutmachen zu wollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auch handle ich nur so, weil ich unm\u00f6glich glaube, da\u00df ein Edelmann viele Tage einem Groll im Herzen tragen kann, und da\u00df aller deiner Ausdr\u00fccke, deren ich zu erinern mich sch\u00e4me, blo\u00df die \u00dcbereilung und Erhitzung der Grund sei. \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[a]<\/a> From 1814, Prince Eduard von Lichnowsky (1789\u20131845) managed his estate (Gr\u00e4z bei Troppau) and was the first in Germany to breed Merino sheep. He was also a writer and historian, his main work Geschichte des Hauses Habsburg<\/em>, was published in 8 volumes between 1836 and 1844.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[b]<\/a> Lichnowsky rejected a flippant remark Sz\u00e9chenyi made about his sister-in-law, Karolina, during a party in a male company. See DH 1. 143 and SzIN 1. 52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[c]<\/a> Sz\u00e9chenyi writes in his diary that he leaves Vienna on the night of 30 November. SzIN 1.55. The following exchange of letters also shows that the parties, who were almost preparing for a duel, were preparing for a verbal settlement on 17 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the insult he had suffered the day before in the presence of several of his acquaintances, he could only forgive the Prince if Lichnowsky were to apologise to him in front of the same people. His name and honour seek revenge for the injustice done to him. He does not believe that the prince’s statements were motivated only by excitement and agitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3518,3448],"tags":[3724],"language":[3416],"addressee":[3703],"place_of_writing":[3397],"qualification":[4185],"place_of_keeping":[3722],"place_of_publication":[3723],"class_list":["post-11768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ifjusag-en","category-youth","tag-duel","language-german","addressee-eduard-von-lichnowsky-en","place_of_writing-vienna","qualification-draft","place_of_keeping-mta-kik-kt-k-212-30-15v-en","place_of_publication-szin-i-52-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11768"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12899,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11768\/revisions\/12899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"addressee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/addressee?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_writing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_writing?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/qualification?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_keeping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_keeping?post=11768"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_publication?post=11768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
