Line 210:
* From the book ''Blind Man's Bluff'', when an American and Soviet submarine had a severe collision in the ocean, and both believed the other had died, the sailors on both submarines felt genuine regret at the death of fellow sailors, even though they were opponents.
* When one of the most famous historical figures of Argentina, Juan Domingo Perón, died in 1974, the most touching words of mourning came form his political antagonist, Ricardo Balbín: "This old adversary [[Tear Jerker|farewells a friend]]".
* When the incredibly [[Badass]] English knight [[Master Swordsman|William]] [[Badass Grandpa|Marshal]] died in 1219, French king Philip Augustus, who'd been making trouble for England for decades, virtually went into shock. One historian described him aimlessly wandering through his palace, asking everyone he met, "Have you heard that the Marshal is dead?" Even in a foreign court, no one needed to ask which marshal he meant -- William was '''that''' famous. Philip later stated William was [[Worthy Opponent|the most loyal man the king -- the '''enemy''' king]] -- had ever known.
