Mercutio is related to the prince so that is why he had romeo exiled instead of killed
Paris and Mercutio
Previous response: Juliet INCORRECT! Actually, the Prince loses TWO kinsmen, Mercutio and Paris. They are both his cousins.
If you are talking about the fight in Act 3, the Prince has a personal interest because one of the guys who was killed was his close relative. I'm talking about Mercutio. The Prince starts out cheesed off at Tybalt who killed one of his kin.
"Kinsmen" meant exactly the same to Shakespeare as it does to you, unless you are thinking of the service club. Kinsmen are people who are "kin", who are from the same family. Your kinsmen are your relatives.
Mercutio is not a prince although he is related to the Prince, Escalus. He is Romeo's friend and serves as comic relief and a foil to Romeo before getting himself killed which starts a sequence of events resulting in Romeo getting banished and seperated from Juliet.
Paris and Mercutio
Kinsmen are relations. When the Prince talks about losing a brace of kinsmen, he is talking about Mercutio and Paris, both of whom were his second cousins or something.

In Romeo and Juliet, both Mercutio and Tybalt die. Mercutio is a kinsman of the Prince through his friendship with Romeo, while Tybalt is a kinsman of the Prince through blood relation as Juliet's cousin. Both deaths contribute to the tragic outcome of the play.

he is important because he banishes romeo this is then in the end a "mistake" from himif romeo wouldn't have been banished he would have known that Juliet was asleep and not dead, he wouldn't have killed himself, and then Juliet wouldn't have killed herself.

Romeo killed himself after finding what he believed to be Juliet's dead body.
Yes. It does not mean the service club.
they will kill Romeo. here is a quote that demonstrates this: Juliet: if they see you, they will kill you. Romeo: alas, I'm more afraid of your eyes than 20 of their swords.
