It is said that Miyamoto Musashi (the greatest swords man in the Japan) met a samurai on a bridge only wide enough for one. It was agreed upon that the lesser warrior should step aside. Disagreeing on who was the lesser they drew they're swords and and regarded each other closely. After a minute without a twitch of movement they simultaneously put away they're swords bowed and left in search of another crossing. Each man had observed the other and acknowledged that he was his equal in every respect and violence would only be foolish pride.
However this is England.
An identical situation here resulted in a fight so fierce that the area was named knightsbridge and the name has lasted long after the river itself has long disappeared.
