In the original *Highlander* Ramirez says this to MacLeod:

> You are safe only on Holy Ground. None of us will violate that *law*. It's tradition.

Even Kurgan obeyed it, despite his lust to have the prize:

> Holy ground, Highlander! Remember what Ramirez taught you.

Were there Immortals who did not abide by this tradition/law (in the movies or in the TV series) intentionally? 

[This answer](https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/14042/1148), shows that at least in the extended canon of the books Duncan was apparently tricked into violating it.
