I found this whole quest to be stupid. If I was in that situation, I would definitely fight my way out of the castle. It's a perfectly viable option, because your character can easily take on packs of soldiers at this point in the game (even on hard mode). Armies would fall before your might.

On the other hand if you choose to surrender you no longer have the option to fight back, because you no longer have your equipment. Without your armor and weapons you cannot overpower the Duke's soldiers. In surrendering  you are putting your life in the hands of a man who believes that you were cucking him. It would not be surprising if he ordered you to be killed or castrated for the offense. In fact, I would assume that he would order such. Knowing this, why does it make sense to surrender? The obvious correct choice is not to surrender - it is to fight and then live as an outlaw.

Such a stupid quest... I think that I will be skipping this one on my next playthrough.
