Last week Monday there was yet another quarrel between the Montague and Capulet family. Tybalt of the Capulets seemed to be provoked by Mercutio. Soon enough a duel broke out and ended as Mercutio was laying slain on the ground of the central square of Verona. Romeo, close friend of Mercutio, whom was trying to interfere and reconcile, but failed until Tybalt arrived once again, drawing his sword and mocking Romeo with the defeat of Mercutio. Romeo drew his own and then layed the slain and defeated Tybalt. Benvolio, also good friend of Romeo and the deceased Mercutio, claimed, quote, "Tybalt, here slain, whom Romeo's hand did slay".
The prince, who shortly arrived after the death of Tybalt and Mercutio, declared Romeo guilty for 2 counts of 2nd degree murder, and exiled him from all of town, claiming his death if he were to enter Verona again.
