[[Period]] laws ranged from [[tax]]es to what [[sumptuary laws|colour]]s and [[fabric]]s you could wear.

== Laws in the [[SCA]] ==

The [[SCA]] has its own laws. These range from laws on [[combat]], to definitions of [[award]]s. There is a hierarchy of SCA laws such that laws on a higher level always supersede any laws established at a lower level. For instance, an [[mundane]] law set outside the Society takes precedance over any SCA-internal law.

SCA laws can be changed by different individuals and groups, depending on the laws. Laws are mainly modified by the [[BoD]] and the [[Crown]].

Some [[tradition]]s in the SCA have been maintained for so long that they seem like laws.
