Line 116:
**Other interactions between local and larger conflicts are possible, as many as can be imagined. For instance during one feud in the Filipino backcountry one women(from a tribe where women are often the diplomats), before arranging a peace conference made a point to visit a nearby guerilla leader and ask him to clear the district because many of his men were affiliated with one of the families causing danger of escalation. The warlord agreed to the request and the truce proceeded.
* One of the most absurdly named feuds was [[Silly Reason for War|War of the One Eyed Woman]] between MacDonald and MacLeod caused because an arranged marriage was made between a MacDonald chief and a MacLeod princess with the matchmaker failing to mention that the bride was one-eyed.
**They had been feuding for a long time but the marriage which was supposed to produce an heir failed to do so during the handfasting(provisional marriage)and the loss of an eye was a pretext for breaking it off. The local MacDonald chief though returned her tied backwards on a one-eyed horse, led by a one-eyed servant and followed by a one eyed dog as a deliberate insult.
