A note to any people who belong to the SCA (no one there games, do they?) Milton Friedman has a son, David, who is also a noted economist. David was also the first King of the Midrealm (Cariadoc of the Bow) who issued a challenge to the East Kingdom for a war. He moved a year later to the coast and became King of the East, and then accepted his challenge for a war. Thus, he became the first King to declare war on himself, which led to Pennsic War. Some old-time SCAdians remember Cariadoc and recall his father, Milton, as the grandfather of the MidRealm.
