* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Donkey War of the Donkey]] was a conflict between two noble families in the Aegean Sea, regarding a donkey that pirates had stolen from one family and sold to the other. This lead to an invasion, a siege, and intervention by a more powerful third party to break said siege. The donkey had probably already died for unrelated reasons by the time it was all over, with both families having wasted huge amounts of money raising armies all to end in a return to the status quo.
