Don't know if this is accurate.

I looked it up, seems legit.

In 1467, a German fencing master, Hans Talhoffer wrote Fechtbuch which literally means ‘Fencing book’. The book, complete with illustrations depicts trial techniques when husbands and wives can no longer get along. He was also an adviser at court in regard to judicial duels.

Not exactly

Christmas is supposed to be a mix of Hannukah and Saturnalia.

The first believers in Christ who is nothing more than a Judaic Messianic derivative the second temple were Jews They celebrated the festival of lights that coincided with Saturnalia, the solstices of the pagan world from which the Christian world is built.

 

For example, they no longer sought to adapt concepts from the Greco-Roman world and combine them with Jewish concepts.

 

It is for example that the Greek Tatar is mixed with Jewish Abyss.

 

The beliefs of the second temple for example the fallen angels are locked in the abyss the Greek equivalent that belief is the Tartarus and the Titans.

 

Basically many are a kind of syncretism made on purpose for non-Jews to understand the Jewish and Eastern world.

 

The Eastern religions were very popular in the Roman Empire because let's say that the Western world had replaced religion and myths with philosophy then always the spiritual part was empty and the Roman and Greek citizens needed new beliefs that fit a much deeper model of thought from which they had evolved.

The idea of Saturnalia falling on the 25th doesn't quite match with when Christmas was initially established.  A better explanation comes from an estimate that Jesus died on the 25th of March.  Since he was important, they assumed that he was conceived on that day, leading to his birth nine months later.  Biblical Scholar Dan McClellan offers basically the same explanation if you want to hear it from a PhD.
