Short Range: This edge is pretty straight forward. Vigiles' use of a truncheon, however skilled he may be, simply is not enough. For one, it's not an actual weapon. It's a more stunning weapon, used to temporarily disable your target. Sir Bors' use of the targe and longsword will be far more effective in terms of combat. Having a weapon actually meant for killing will help.

Edge-Sir Bors

Mid Range: On the one hand, the longsword is shorter. This would help if Vigiles can close the distance between himself and Sir Bors. Assuming he can of course. The halberd is a longer weapon which means it'll be harder for Vigiles to close that distance. Add on to the fact that the halberd gives you more options, and may potentially pierce armor.

Edge-Sir Bors

Long Range: Both are using crossbows here. In this smaller confined area compared to a regular fight, every shot will count and nearly every bolt missed will be a missed opportunity at living. Therfore, Sir Bors gets the edge here. Assuming you do hit, his bolts are more likely to do lasting damage. Armor piercing and poisoned bolts tend to do that when compared to regular types.

Edge-Sir Bors

Special: Vigiles would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind to walk into a trap in this small an area. And Sir Bors would be an idiot to try to set them up in the middle of a fight. A dagger is much easier to hide, much easier to use, and much easier to kill with in this setting.

Edge-William Vigiles

Armor: Sir Bors' plate armor is taking this. It only weighs 65 lbs as opposed to 120 lbs of Vigiles' armor. He won't be hampered as much by the weight of his protection. There's also the fact that his armor is made of superior materials that will stand up to more damage than Vigiles'. He can waste less energy, and be on his toes to deal out damage.

Edge-Sir Bors

Winner: The winner here is obvious. Sir Bors will take Vigiles to the cleaners. He has mostly superior weaponry, and better armor. Whatever disadvantage he may have with seeing out of that helmet, he'll make up for by his superior mobility and durability.

Sir Bors wins
