(Duel wielding never happened in actual combat) Do you mean wielding 2 weapons at one time? If so then yes it actually did happen. The Thracians trained their elite fighters to wield 2 swords at a time. Is there a source you can direct me to for this? I've never heard that. The only viable dual wielding combination (apart from shield and weapon, obviously) that was historically common was a rapier and a parrying dagger. Even then, that's in the Renaissance, and largely confined to a duelling, not a battlefield, context. Well, it is possible Rapier-Rapier was also used in dueling rarely.
