This article aims to study the conflicts between two rights protected by the constitutions and legislation in the 19th century Spain: the right to honour and the freedom of speech. From a historical perspective, the text tries to analyse how the laws, the jurisprudence and the perceptions of contemporaries explain to us the collision between both rights. Also, it studies the role of the State as mediator in the conflicts arisen in that context and asks why some individuals continued to use duel as a way to clean up their reputation instead of appealing to the courts.
