"Ok so Ulfric broke a rule" you say as if there's nothing of it, that happened to be one of the most sacred rules for mortals who know how to shout, do you know what happened to the last regular mortal who used the voice for something other than worship of the gods? He was defeated horribly at Red Mountain and had to spend seven years pondering why. Also consider that maybe just maybe Ulfric's actions are out of self-interest rather out of interest for Skyrim, even Laila Law-Giver one of the Jarls that supports him thinks so, she even says that if Ulfric were to ascend to the throne it probably wouldn't be the uptopia everyone expects it to be. But my main point here is that Ulfric didn't break just any rule, he broke a sacred rule and even if it wasn't a rule Torygg didn't know how to shout or how to counter it, you cannot sell that as a fair fight, maybe not completely unfair but in no way fair either.
