    Lady Almeria Braddock and a Mrs. Elphinstone fought what came to be known as 'the petticoat duel'; feeling insulted after their genteel conversation turned to the subject of Lady Almeria's true age, she challenged Mrs. Elphinstone to a duel in London's Hyde Park. The ladies first exchanged pistol shots, in which Lady Almeria's hat was damaged, then continued with swords until Mrs. Elphinstone received a wound to her arm and agreed to write Lady Almeria an apology.
