Father son conflict
I'm looking for fairy tales with father-son conflict or conflict to do with inheritance. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Father son conflict
Specifically fairy tales, or myths as well? Because Greek myth is full to the rafters with such stuff: Kronos and Uranus, Zeus and Kronos, Oedipus and Laius.
Also, Arthur and Mordred in King Arthur lore.

Re: Father son conflict
If one were to apply the broad sense of "disagreement" to "conflict," then any of the tales in which a king sets a challenge to his three sons ("The Frog Princess," for example) would do. Or are you looking for more specific examples of outright battle and rebellion?

The "three sons" conflict: the Fountain of Life; the White Cat. The Fountain of Life is especially rich in this.

Sons and fathers
The father in Hans-my-Hedgehog isn't much pleased that his son is a hedgehog.
Also, the king who sets difficult tasks for his future son-in-law, if you're counting relation by marriage.
There are some other stories where an exasperated father tries to deal with the laziest of his sons. The son, of course, is either clever or lucky and ends up rich somehow. (Fearnot, how Jacks befooled the King)

inheritance
How about Puss-in-Boots, for inheritance?
