(Redirected from
Blood feud)
Feud may also mean fief in reference to feudalism.
A feud is a long-running argument or fight between two groups of people, especially families or clans. Feuds tend to begin because a member of one group attacks or insults a member of the other, and then turn into long-running cycles of retaliation. Feuds can last for generations.
In areas without a strong central government the feud can be the only way to balance relationships between and within communities.
A blood feud describes a feud with a cycle of retaliatory killings.
