What is a Feud?
A feud is a prolonged state of hostilities between two families, clans, or other collective groups. Throughout history, there have been some notable feuds, including the one which ranged between the Hatfields and the McCoys in the American South, the Campbell and McDonal feud in Scotland, and the English Wars of the Roses, fought between clans competing for power. Feuds also appear in fiction, perhaps more famously in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet.
