If it was a duel you could always yield. Lots of sword fights during tournaments and such.

Battles themselves tended to be rather short. Though sieges were much more common.

Just hope you are okay with wool because every bit of clothing is made out of it or leather.

Silk was really expensive and unheard of in most places. Good cotton for making thread is a new world thing.

How did that work back in the day? Did you just find a plot of land you liked and build a house on it and call it yours?

The man with the armed thugs told you where to live and how much of your crop you would give him for living on his land.

Not in Tudor or Elizabethan England. Silks, satins, linens and velvets were worn with abandon; many with beautiful embroidery. There were early versions of lace.
No matter the rank there were enough changes of linen to last a week. The upper classes would have more changes available and they were also exquisitely dressed. Even the men outdressed them at times.

You'd be beheaded for being a sore loser. Or burned at the stake for your heretical statements.

Yeah, I think deflated footballs probably wouldn't compare to the "gamesmanship" going on at your average medieval sporting event.
