The ancient Romans had a guild for just about everything, from funeral guilds to musician's guilds. Any occupation could have a guild or union as we would call them today. The guilds set guidelines for wages and some of them were politically important.

How did a medieval glazier get his job?

Glaziers had to learn their jobs from other glaziers through apprenticeship. Glaziers were members of guilds, and the guilds controlled the education of apprentices. The glaziers' guilds in Italy were among the oldest in the world, and very possibly dated back to the times of the Roman Empire.


Examples of craft guilds in medieval Europe?

Among the oldest guilds were those for stone masons and glass makers. But there were guilds of all sorts, and in guild oriented cities, many or most jobs were involved in the guild structure. There were carpenters' guilds and bakers' guilds and cobblers' guilds. There were even guilds that were entirely female, such as the silk guilds of Paris and Cologne. In time, there were also merchant guilds, in addition to craft guilds. Please use the link below for more information.


What are some examples of craftguilds in medieval Europe?

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.


What effect did the guilds have on competition and prices?

Guilds had effect on Competition and Prices because they were skilled like that. Also they price different things like a craft guild, for example, he makes weaves and paintings and sells them for the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Merchant makes competition because he makes things that people in everyday life need.


Were medieval universities guilds that produced educated individuals?

Universities were not called guilds, but they functioned very much as guilds did. The undergraduate education in the universities was very like the journeyman stage of becoming a guild member, and the post graduate work leading to the master's degree was very like the production of a master work for the guilds. The structure of the university was quite possibly modeled on crafts guilds. Some guilds even had a higher level of membership than master, which was analogous to a doctorate.

When was the first medeival guild formed?

We do not have records to tell us when the first medieval guilds were formed, but it seems they were established by glass makers and stone cutters. These guilds may actually have been holdovers from guilds of the Roman Empire. We know there were other guilds established after the fall of the Roman Empire, and some of these may date to the fifth century. I have read that there was a soap makers' guild in Verona in the sixth century.

What were guilds why were they establish?

Guilds were associations of craftsmen or merchants. They were established primarily to protect the interests of their members. As they protected members from competition, they also protected the customers from poor quality work by people who were not skilled, established standards for members and the work they produced, and provided a united approach to economic policies and politics. The earliest medieval guilds may actually have been established during the time of the ancient Roman Empire. Guilds also developed in other places, and Anglo-Saxon guilds probably arose from a separate tradition. As the Middle Ages went on, more guilds were established, and they became more involved in politics. There were a number of towns and cities run by guilds, especially in Italy and parts of Germany. The political power of guilds probably increased the attractiveness of starting new guilds. Combinations of guilds, such as the Hanseatic League, eventually had a great deal of strength, with military and diplomatic power independent of any country. The earliest universities in Western Europe appear to have been established as guilds of educators.
