Title: Feuding Korean clans end 400-year fight over graves
Post by: Foxy Brown on December 27, 2007, 06:56:23 AM

After nearly 400 years, a few killings and scorned pleas from a king, two powerful clans have settled one of the longest-standing feuds in Korean history, over ancestral burial grounds.

The clash between the Yoon family and the Shim family started in 1614 when the two began burying their ancestors in large burial mounds next to each other, with both claiming rights to the land. (http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKSEO21065420071224?sp=true)
