Have you ever gotten mad over something that - in hindsight - seemed silly? How long did that grudge last? Did it span decades? If not, you're still doing better than many of the people on this list. These are some of the most heated feuds in history - from battling brothers, to parents and children, to former friends. Sometimes there's one thing that just pushes someone over the edge, and from that point on, it's war.

Can still say great video and who knows what next for this channel that can be interesting since there's a lot out there.

[@ArcherSuh4721]

When the movie The Dirty Dozen was in preproduction, the studio didn't know who to hire to direct because it would include dealing with an ensemble of very macho actors who possibly might clash during filming. One of the main reasons Robert Aldrich ultimately got the job was because he directed Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and the studio figured that if he could handle Davis and Crawford on the same set, he could handle anything...

My great grandmother and her sister did not speak for 20 years - because of the outcome of a card game

[@terriehumphries6028]

I think the feud with the queen and her daughter was very petty. That woman was too dependent on her daughter.

[@Goodiesfanful]

Victoria was very controlling over her children, even forcing them into perpetual mourning when her husband died. She had an extremely restrictive childhood herself.

[@edwardleemiller-eo8jp]

The thing that tipped Houdini to Doyle’s wife as a liar was that Houdini’s mother was devoutly Jewish (Houdini’s father was a Rabbi), yet the “auto writing” made several allusions to Christianity.

[@Goodiesfanful]

And Doyle was a gullible man, believing in fairies and totally taken in by the Cottingley fairy fraud. You would think anyone could see the fairies in the photos were just paper cut-outs.

[@charlesedwards2856]

Not only that, but Houdini’s mother really only spoke Hungarian because her English wasn’t very good, and the writing was in English when Doyle’s wife didn’t know Hungarian. In short, there were a lot of red flags against Doyle’s wife on this that proved Houdini right.

I can certainly understand the general's feud. As well as Betty and Joan. Joan was man crazy and extremely jealous to begin with. Crawford probably would have stolen the 'elephant man' away from Davis, if it meant getting revenge on her...

All I know from those photos is that if there's ever a biopic of Houdini, the only choice is Tom Hardy.

[@loriloristuff]

I can understand Samuel Longhorn Clemons (Mark Twain) and his aversion to USPS. Most recently, somehow the postage, affixed in my hometown by a USPS employee, was peeled off my package in North Houston. The package stayed in the online system for a week after being returned. Instead of using an official notice and affixing it with glue or regular tape, the postal worker put a Post-It note on it, claiming I needed postage, and taped it in place with Priority Mail tape.

"Ectoplasm thickens...!" Haha! I heard in lectures that among the things that fueled the rivalry between Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci was one of them overhearing the other in a crowd of people all laughing and the presumption was that it was "at them"!

[@nicole.stanhope]

You could have used King Edward VIII instead of Princess Beatrice. She blamed him for Albert’s death, because Albert went after him when he was fooling around with women out of wedlock, and she believed the poor weather and rain is what got Albert sick and that’s what killed him. There was a strain between those two from then on… He wasn’t really allowed to be sad about his father or reminisce about him in Queen Victoria’s presence. 😐

Surely, the pettiest feud is the one the trolls have with WH narrators.

[@Katinahat293]

Oh fs. Their complaints never end

[@wirelessdirk]

You are the one arguing, calling us trolls. We are simply fans of that narrator expressing our preference. At no point are we attacking people who don't mind it, or baiting them

[@Me-qp8vz]

So pointing out all the mistakes made by this channel, makes someone a troll... right...

[@Badmediatrack]

It’s not a fued, it’s an opinion. And we aren’t trolls, we are dedicated fans who just don’t like when a channel we like changes one of its best assets.

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Just with one of them. There is a lady who is pretty good, and a guy who sounds like a young version of the favorite narrator, but there is one guy who seems unable to narrate seriously the serious subjects, and unable to crack a joke with the funny subjects. That guy taints the other alternative narrators.

To the person that just commented all excited because the narrator was back. You do understand that he also does the narration on the weird history food channel right? Now I like this narrator as much as everyone else, but he can’t be narrating every single video unless he wants to.and since he’s not narrating every single video on this channel, something tells me he either doesn’t want to or that’s the way it is

Man, that's something. Like to add Havilland and her sister-in-law. Also Washington and his generals in the Revolution.

[@DogDooWinner]

George Washington and Benedict Arnold. Benedict Arnold was a turncoat. Branded by the continental army as a traitor. He believed that the British would welcome him with open arms. The British army branded him as a coward and traitor. The general of the British army, whose name escaped me at the moment, made sure that he was well taken care of in confinement. People believe that propaganda during war is a modern invention. It certainly isn't. My personal favorite feud from a bit before that time is Benjamin Franklin and John Partridge. Poor Richard's Almanak predicted the imminent death of John Partridge in every issue. When John Partridge died, the very next issue said that they were pleased that John Partridge finally accepted his fate. It's something that you could never think about doing today. When people think about Benjamin Franklin, they think of this stodgy guy with no sense of humor, a proper man who would never have a chance to be wild as he was doing science and making kites. When people dive into Benjamin Franklin, wow. Motley Crew in the 1980s at the height of their popularity has nothing on him. Benjamin Franklin is one of the people that I insist people learn about. People have forgotten due to people wanting to sanitize history about how much of a rock star type life Benjamin Franklin lived. There has been a few books written about the sexual exploits of Benjamin Franklin. Historians seem to be mixed on them. I've never read them, but I find it interesting they exist.

They made a movie about Davis and and Joan a made for TV series actually it was about the making of Baby Jane and their feuds before during and after.
