Guilds were the equivalent to what unions were today without all of the labor rights incorporated as labor laws were much less prevalent in the medieval times. Guilds were organized groups of people of the same trade where skills were taught and shared. Some guilds even held informal/ prototypical small scale schools with workshops.

Which medieval europen group maintained law and order?
The nobility (nobles) maintained law and order in medieval Europe. ----- The idea that the nobility maintained law and order may be a stock answer for some history course, but it is not entirely correct. Law and order were maintained on the village and manor level largely by the serfs themselves, because they served as the jurors in the manorial courts and provided the officers for law enforcement as well. Most of the nobles had no special interest in this and did not engage in it unless it was necessary to do so. In the cities, law and order was maintained by the city government, which was not normally headed by a member of the nobility, but rather by city officers, who were appointees. The power of the nobility was outside the cities, which were not fiefs and had charters. In many places, the cities had republican governments. This was especially true in medieval communes, which were almost entirely run by guilds. At the national level, the laws where the monarch's, and the function of the nobility was not so much to maintain it as to support it.
What are the good things about living in medieval castles?
Medieval castles were very often not very comfortable, and in many cases even their owners did not want to live in them. This was not always true, however, and some lords outfitted their castles to be comfortable living quarters. In such a case, the castle could be as comfortable as any manor house. In the case of royal castles, it might be as comfortable as a palace. Perhaps the best thing about living in any castle was that it was safe from attack.

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.

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.

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.
