A historical action drama, The Last Duel (2021), directed by Ridley Scott and written by Nicole Holofcener, tells the story of French squires Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris during the Caroline War. Divided into three chapters, each chapter presents the same story from a different perspective. In summary, after serving in the war, Jean and Jacques pledge loyalty to Count Pierre d’Alençon, who has been appointed as Jean’s overlord by King Charles VI. Seeking financial gain, Jean marries Marguerite de Thibouville under the assumption that her father, Robert, will provide a substantial dowry including rights to valuable estates. However, Pierre takes possession of Aunou-le-Faucon to settle Robert’s debts and rewards Jacques with the estate as he has become one of Pierre’s favored men.
Jean brings the issue to King Charles, who dismisses the lawsuit. In response, Pierre assigns Jacques to take over Jean’s late father’s position within the Carrouges family. Jean’s marriage starts to struggle as they struggle with infertility. However, at a gathering, Jean and Jacques make amends while Jacques becomes infatuated with Marguerite, who befriends him in an attempt to gain his favor. Unfortunately, Jacques misunderstands her intentions and believes she reciprocates his feelings instead of loving Jean. After being knighted but still struggling financially from a failed military campaign in Scotland, Jean decides to travel to Paris to collect his earnings.
