Abstract
This chapter shows how early medieval communities bent their social and legal arrangements in order to accommodate these tricky animals. It also probes the limits of thinking about “the pig” as a stable species, because early medieval and modern commentators alike have noticed the hazards of generalizing: pigs had individual characteristics and abilities, they could learn new things, and they could change.
