Traditions I have learned from the book.

The book has shown me many traditions in Franc and how they were carried out in that period. One thing that caught my attention was that if you were challenged by someone, you could only deny the duel if that person had a lower economic position. Also the person that was challenged was supposed to choose the weapon used in the duel, which could be a sword or a gun. I have also learned other traditions. In wealthy families, the marriages were arranged according to the needs of the family, Sometimes the marriage arrangement was because of economic interest, sometime for political interest and some other were made to erase some hostile feelings between two families.  All this costumes are quite different from what we are used to do in the twenty century and the costumes will probably be changing even faster than before.
