The reasons could be not wanting a return to the good old day or most likely wanting to weaken the others so they have more power.
Maybe one of the small families that think they will be under the control of a larger stronger family? Which way do you see it?
They could be aiding the resistance at the same time appearing to work with the other families. Play both ends against the middle. It's made to look like all the families are of one mind but are they?
Thoughts?
This is more likely than not. The old families played the game by cut throat rules. Top among those rules was keep your friends close but your enemies closer. One would think nothing of setting up an other to sleep with the kings own mistress, or even wife, and get caught, or to set up a rivals wife to get caught in order to embarrass them. Going to "summer court" was one of the most dangerous things a noble might do, yet not showing up was enough to call your loyalties into question.
If I had something important to say, I would have mumbled it.
