I’m guessing larger breasts would be a disadvantage in a sword fight?
The clothes were removed because the doctor supervising the fight knew that getting stabbed through clothing would force germs into the wound. And in the pre-antibiotic days that could be a death sentence, and this wasn't a fight to the death. [thehistoryblog.com]
because there are no germs on a sword.
Also, after reading the link:
" It seems there is no hard evidence for this duel ever having taken place. The contemporary accounts were basically gossip. I can’t help but hope that the Princess denied it happened to preserve her privacy."
@AtheistInNC Clothes being pushed into wounds by swords and bullets are going to be far more germ ridden than the sword or bullet. It was a reasonable precaution.
