          If the word/concept didn't enter English until 1500, in what legal (er, illegal) context was Mahamut "dueling" with de Merleberge I wonder?

          Do you mean "Dwelling" rather than "dueling?" Imagining a Saracen swordsman in tournaments

          No! The dueling is how we know about him, ended up in court records etc :)
