I must admit, your post intrigues me. You said -

\"if your opponent yields after being disarmed and goes home in

peace, then the knight is bound by honor to return the blade.\"

You pulled that \"throw sword to Dunccan\" trick on me the other night

as you were attacking within my city. I seem to recall that I didn't

continue the attack (as I was quite dead). I also recall I took the \"theft\"

with good nature and you complimented me for not \"whining\" about it. I

even offered to buy the blade back from you.

I wonder why it was you didn't feel honour bound to return my blade.

Perhaps this is simply a case of situational ethics?
