After the final dissolution of the Abbeys, Monasteries, Guilds and other religious houses it was evidently thought that this country might develop into a nation of thieves and robbers, unless some religious services were kept rigorously going. Consequently in Leicester it was decreed, in A.D. 1558 or only a few years after the dissolution of the Guilds by the Municipal body sitting in Common Hall, "that at least one person from every house in the town must attend each of the services held on Wednesdays and Fridays, under a penalty of four pence." These services were of course in addition to those of Sunday.

In the Dune universe, an organization known as the Spacing Guild controls the means of interstellar travel and thus wields great power. In The Venture Brothers, most super-villains in the series belong to The Guild of Calamitous Intent, which regulates their menacing activities towards their respective protagonists, while also shielding said villains from criminal prosecution. Much of the show's storyline revolves around politics within the Guild.

Studies have provided a contradictory picture. Recent historical research is usually posed in rebuttal to Alice Clark's study on the economic marginalization of women in the 17th c., and has highlighted that domestic life did not organize women's economic activities. The research has documented women's extensive participation in market relations, craft production, and paid labor in the early modern period. [55] Jovinelly, Joann; Netelkos, Jason (2006).

The continental system of guilds and merchants arrived in England after the Norman Conquest, with incorporated societies of merchants in each town or city holding exclusive rights of doing business there. In many cases they became the governing body of a town. For example, London's Guildhall became the seat of the Court of Common Council of the City of London Corporation, the world's oldest continuously elected local government, [19] whose members to this day must be Freemen of the city. [20] The Freedom of the City, effective from the Middle Ages until 1835, gave the right to trade, and was only bestowed upon members of a Guild or Livery. [21] Ogilvie, Sheilagh. 2019. The European Guilds: An Economic Analysis. Princeton University Press. covers 1000 to 1880. In many European countries, guilds have experienced a revival as local trade organizations for craftsmen, primarily in traditional skills. [68] They may function as forums for developing competence and are often the local units of a national employer's organisation.In Dublin the penalty for breaking the laws of the Guild was L40, one-half of which was paid to the heads of the Guild whose trade the breach affected, and the other half of the fine was handed over, part to the city and part to the finder of the offender, as a reward for services rendered. As production became more specialized, trade guilds were divided and subdivided, eliciting the squabbles over jurisdiction that produced the paperwork by which economic historians trace their development: The metalworking guilds of Nuremberg were divided among dozens of independent trades in the boom economy of the 13th century, and there were 101 trades in Paris by 1260. [32] In Ghent, as in Florence, the woolen textile industry developed as a congeries of specialized guilds. The appearance of the European guilds was tied to the emergent money economy, and to urbanization. Before this time it was not possible to run a money-driven organization, as commodity money was the normal way of doing business. Ogilvie (2004) argues that guilds negatively affected quality, skills, and innovation. Through what economists now call " rent-seeking" they imposed deadweight losses on the economy. Ogilvie argues they generated limited positive externalities and notes that industry began to flourish only after the guilds faded away. Guilds persisted over the centuries because they redistributed resources to politically powerful merchants. On the other hand, Ogilvie agrees, guilds created "social capital" of shared norms, common information, mutual sanctions, and collective political action. This social capital benefited guild members, even as it arguably hurt outsiders. [41] The political class of a town typically came from the merchant guilds & so A new & powerful middle class sprang up. What Were Merchant Guilds?

The Guild Merchant Roll as it survives today consists of 43 membranes numbered 1 to 42 with the number 31 being used twice. It appears that this numbering was done in the 19th century, possibly by Gilbert when he was transcribing portions for publication; there is no sign of any earlier numbering of the membranes. The roll was once longer as there is physical evidence of further membranes having been attached to the top of the present m. 1 and to the bottom of the present m. 42, though there is no indication of the roll's original size 3. The 43 membranes are at present in 6 rolls consisting of mm. 1-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-26, 27-40 and 41-42, the membranes being joined end to end with either vellum thongs or thread. There is evidence that these originally formed a single roll. The bottom of m. 9 and to top portion of m. 13 are missing and the condition of the membranes varies, some names being illegible due to staining and rubbing. a b c d Hafter, Daryl M. “Female Masters in the Ribbonmaking Guild of Eighteenth-Century Rouen.” French Historical Studies, vol. 20, no. 1, 1997, pp. 1–14.
