Guilds
A modern descendant of medieval guilds is the professional association or trade union. These organizations support the interests of their members, provide training and resources, and advocate for workplace rights, much like guilds did for craftsmen and tradespeople in the Middle Ages. They help establish standards, promote professional development, and foster a sense of community among members.
Everyone was Catholic in the middle ages. --- We can probably safely assume most guild members were Catholic. Guild charters would have been likely to exclude Jews, and there were not enough Muslims in European areas with guilds to be likely to be guild members. That said, we can be sure that a number of guilds in various towns and cities were dominated by members of sects the Catholic Church regarded as heretical. This is probably particularly true of Hussites and Lollards, who were numerous in the Late Middle Ages when the guilds were operating.
Yes, guilds exist today, but they have evolved from their historical roots. Modern guilds often take the form of professional organizations, trade associations, or unions that serve to support members in various industries by providing networking opportunities, resources, and advocacy. They continue to play a role in setting standards, providing training, and promoting the interests of their members, much like traditional guilds did in the past. Additionally, online communities and platforms have fostered new forms of guild-like structures, especially in creative and digital fields.

To their members and their families.
The trade guilds primarily were there to help their own members: they set standards of quality, regulated opening hours for shops of guild members, set rules for apprenticeships and for when you were allowed to operate as a master craftsman, helped sick members and provided for families of deceased members and vigorously acted against any form of "unauthorized" competition. Usually the guild Board members saw to it that they had somone in the town's Council or that they had a 'tame' representative there to look after their interests.
Guilds made riles that controlled the quantity and quality of production. The guilds watched out for their members and worked to make sure that everyone found employment. Did it help ? ;o Sorry if it didnt c:
