It does not matter in the least how fair the duel was. It was supposed to be about who could protect Skyrim better. Ulfric beat him he deserved it. Just like if in a duel with someone you did a deadly kick and it made you win. It's the same with Ulfric and the Thu'um. Lincoln was snuck up behind and killed, if Ulfric snuck up behind Torygg and killed him then I would agree with you, but he didn't. Torygg should've expected anything in a duel. He actually should've also been aware that Ulfric could shout because he was chosen by the Graybears to learn it. That's considered a big deal in Skyrim. So if Torygg didn't know that then he was poorly educated. But Torygg lived in royalty his whole life, so he should've been educated.

I heard they had been trying to capture him for a long time and they couldn't. Then one time they did. He's a still a mortal, if he's out in the field fighting he has a chance of being captured. It's an unrealistic standard that he could do all of that and still not get caught.
