There are also towers in the Mani peninsular in Greece. They were built to defend against not only invaders and bandits but also neighbors due to vendettas. A local told me that blood feuds between families could often last for many generations.

The Italian city states would also fight against each other. I think part of the motivation for the Crusades, was redirect those feuds elsewhere. And it worked somewhat.
