Wooha! 
hock:
I hope that soon simmilar documents will be made avalaible soon!
Here I Spain one linguist "discovered" the "letras de batalla" (battle letters) which are letters to demand a duel, agreeing the ofensive and defensive weapons, place, names of both duelist and the judge. Most are from 1350-1500´s. There is a curious drawing in the Pierpont Morgan Library showing the combat (dismounted) between two knights: the Valencian Felip Boyl and John Astley, in Smithfield, the 30th of January of 1442, in the presence of Henry VI. Those guys travelled across Europe more than we thought seeking fame and victory (and usually giving a kick to another knight for other reasons not all times explained).
