I think this guy is full of shit.. but just my opinion. Maybe I am not getting the context but... number one why would you ever give your honor to never leave a circle... and second he would not die first before leaving... no one would. Food, water, taking a shit or piss.. all factors.
Well, even hostages get bathroom breaks if needed.....lol.
Anyway as in as many of the older Anglo - French wars officer prisoners could often give their "Parole" which was a pledge not to try and escape or bear arms against their captors. It was a honor pledge and once given the prisoners were usually free to wander around town at their own discretion.
Parole is the agreement of persons who have been taken prisoner by an enemy that they will not again take up arms against those who captured them, either for a limited time or during the continuance of the war.”
Parole agreements are promises given the captor by a POW to fulfill stated conditions, such as not to bear arms or not to escape, in consideration of special privileges, such as release from captivity or lessened restraint.
Once upon a time, in a land far away, "honor" actually meant something.
