Two families with a long standing feud decided to get together and work out their differences. They talked, then taunted, then participated in a small battle armed with spears, swords, and axes. On the bright side, for amateurs at peace negotiations they're doing as well as experienced professionals like the Palestinians and Israelis.

The comment at the bottom of the article makes a good point... Two hundred people fight with lethal weapons and there are no fatalities? Not even any significant injuries mentioned? Psh, amateurs.

Next time, bring some archers and siege towers and trebuchets.

Then someone will get hurt...
