When the Prince shows up, expect a speech directed to the two families. He turns up three times in the play. In Act I he breaks a street brawl and announces tougher sentences to brawlers to the two families. In Act III he shows up in the wake of another street brawl and has to enforce the law he earlier pronounced against a Montague (Romeo) who has been fighting with Capulets. In Act V he addresses the two families and blames the deaths of Romeo and Juliet on their inability to let go of the feud.
The prince states that hes got MONTAGUE IN HIS BLOOD, so he's a Montague. Actually the prince does not say that he has "Montague in his blood" at all. He does say: "Capulet, Montague, see what a scourge is laid upon your hate, that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen." Capulet and Montague have lost their "joys", their children. But the Prince has lost kinsmen over and above those, and just two of them (Mercutio and Paris). The Prince, Mercutio and Paris belong to a family that is neither Montague nor Capulet. That is why Mercutio says, "A plague on both your houses." He is cursing Montagues and Capulets, but not his own house, which is different.
He puts the death penalty on fighting in the streets between the Montagues and Capulets. AKA the next person between the Capulets and Montagues who is caught fighting in the streets will be sentenced to death.
It doesn't say exactly.
