∙ 12y agoWritten rules for sports were a thing of the modern age, and in the Middle Ages standard rules did not exist. Football was played however people agreed to play it at the time, and it existed in many forms, most of which were rather chaotic. In one form, called mob football, there was no restriction even to the numbers of people who played on each side, and passersby could find themselves suddenly called on to play in the game.
