| Abstract | That session will present areas of medieval life that were dominated by special social and cultural rules that are documented in pictures and different texts (fictional and nonfictional ones). In the same texts or in other texts or pictures it becomes clear that these rules were broken by a special group of people or after a certain time of their existence. Sometimes it is not clear if breaking the rules was only estimated or if it was a fact. So it might come clear that as well social as cultural rules have their time and are not relevant for everybody, obviously. |
