There were many guilds. They were divided into two main types, guilds for craftsmen and guilds for merchants. Each of these types had many different kinds of guilds within it.

Examples of crafts guilds included stone masons, carpenters, wax candle makers, brewers, soap makers, and fine shoe makers. Industries such as textiles sometimes had many guilds associated with them, each for a different kind of operation. Wool weavers would have one guild, and another would be for makers of linen or silk, and tailors had their own guilds separately.

Guilds were often affiliated with each other, and this included trade guilds and merchant guilds both. In some places, the town or city governments were run by guilds, and such cities built alliances of their own.

Were women abused in medieval Europe?

Some medieval women were abused, and some were not. Medieval times were no different than other times and places. In some places the laws did not protect women well, but there were a lot of places where there were specific laws to protect women from abusive husbands and other family members. Also, nearly everywhere in Christian Europe, any women could get protection in the sanctuary of a convent. As to why women were abused in Medieval Europe, the reasons have not changed. This is a complicated question dealt with by people ranging from sociologists to psychologists.
