Shakespeare didn't hold any grudges. He uses the phrase "ancient grudge" in the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet to describe the bad blood which was between the two families of Montague and Capulet.

Why did the montagues and the Capulets hate each other?

The play does not specify what the origin of the feud was, only that it was an "ancient grudge". It is possible to speculate that the "ancient grudge" was the animosity between Guelfs and Ghibellines in medieval and Renaissance Italy. Originally this was a division between those holding that supreme power should lay with the Pope (Guelfs) and those holding that it should lay with the Emperor (Ghibellines), but as the centuries wore on, the Guelfs and Ghibellines fought out of an "ancient grudge" that most people had forgotten the origin of. Some of the older versions of the Romeo and Juliet story state that this was the problem between Romeo's family and Juliet's, but Shakespeare makes no mention of it specifically.
