It isn't clear how a war is classed as "feudal" for the purposes of the list. A war over inheritance or territorial claims is very broad. Some of these are large scale international wars, others wars between powerful individuals, some civil wars between crown and aristocracy. Also, perhaps some more up-to-date studies of the concept of "feudal" relationships, which is an area much argued over academically in the last 50 years, could be brought to play. Also, consider to what degree town disputes with aristocratic figures should be considered and secular wars involving clerics (very important in the Holy Roman Empires territories, for example).
