I think it was actually because she blamed him for Grabrijan's death.
Hm, I thought she declared war because of
Sam's "nice cans" comment on 3/7/04. Her minions took off after him, yelling "Destroy him!" (And I think that was the first time we saw Philinnon -- she was first mentioned just a few weeks earlier.)
Grabrijan didn't bite it (heh, see what I did there) until
a week later in the struggle with Vambrey.
But then
Philinnon said "[Arminius] was just a pawn, and secondary in my quest for revenge! The fall of Grabrijan lies at the feet of Sam." So maybe the "nice cans" comment was an insult, but Grabrijan's death was the real reason for the war. Though I'm having trouble remembering why she blames Sam, since he was nowhere near when Arminius staked Grarijan...

But it all comes back to pride anyway, since if she'd been paying attention, she would've realized that Grabrijan was intending to usurp the throne.
He was?? He had one minion who staked some of Philinnon's minions, right after getting de-fanged, but other than that Grabrijan seemed loyal.
