Feuding Families: Difference between revisions

* The Starks and Lannisters in [[Game of Thrones]]. As of the end of season one, they are {{spoiler|at war.}}

* ''[[CSI: NY]]'' had a first season episode with feuding circus families that led to a suicide pact.

 

== [[Real Life]] ==

* It is common during a large war, for local feuds to exploit and be exploited by the warring parties. If for instance during the American Revolution, the Archies are Loyalists, the Bargies will be with the Continental Congress, but it might as well be the other way as neither cares except insofar as it gives them an accepted excuse to shoot at each other.

**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.
