The Montagues were a fictional Ghibelline family of Verona at mortal feud with that of the fictional family the Capulets in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet.
This was a problem because Romeo, a Montague, fell deeply in love with their only daughter Juliet Capulet and married her in secret causing the death of them both.
The feud started over something so small that it was forgotten what had started it.
This is the house to which Romeo and his cousin Benvolio belong. It also consists of: Lord Montague, Lady Montague, Romeo (their only son), and Benvolio (their nephew).
Lady Capulet holds a very important opinion on their ancient fued.
