Abstract	Sometimes different authorities propose diverse rules, either explicitly stated or unwritten ones, that are in conflict with each other. Following one rule may thus make one break another. The papers in this session focus on medieval sources representing or discussing (dis)order and conflicting cultural rules and norms: representations of families in medieval wall paintings, accounts of battles during the Scottish Wars of Independence in epics and chronicles, and biographies of married saints.
