In many places, the economic and political life was dominated by guilds of merchants and tradesmen. The domination was profound enough that there were many medieval towns and cities of a type called communes (commonwealths might be a better way of putting it in modern English), and the communes were run as republican cities, some within monarchies, and some independent.
