Yes, I know about the other situations and side stepping.
There are many people in history that have a background
Some things are out right intolerable or given that time in history it is a given.

I think what you said is true, but I’m not sure of the point. I, at least, would not take that to mean their actions were justified, just because of the times. Understandable, maybe, but not right is not right.
For example the idea of “revenge” and of “defending one’s honor” by means of duals, lasted well into the late 1800s at least. As far as I’m concerned it was always a stupid idea, no matter how much it was once embraced.
Strangely, some of that stupid view remains in today’s penal law.
