Prince Escalus of Verona intervenes and declares that further breach of the peace will be punishable by death.

Characters in Romeo and Juliet The Capulet family (in Italian, "Capuleti") in the play was named after an actual political faction of the 13th century.[1] Notably, the Capulet family is often portrayed as the 'bad' side, as much of the conflict is caused by them. They are also more developed, since more attention is given to their family life.
