So by that logic if, say, Molag Bal waltzed into Windhelm and killed Ulfric, he'd then be the new High King of Skyrim? Just because he's the best at killing? Pretty barbaric custom. It's also the rule the Dragons live by, being "right" and being "stronger" than your opponent are the same thing. I'd like to know why (if it was just a duel) Ulfric didnt then sit on the Throne in the blue palace and start issueing commands. I mean.. he won.. right? why did he then have to flee? Probably because he knew that by Imperial Law it's murder, not succession.
