On the alleged encounter between Quevedo and Pacheco

There are good reasons to think that the alleged duel in which Francisco de Quevedo defeated Pacheco never actually happened and was in fact a later invention by his hagiographer Pablo Antonio de Tarsia, and brought to our days by Aureliano Fernández-Guerra, an intellectual of the 19th Century and admirer of Quevedo.

See Alberto Bomprezzi article for a full account of the claim.
