GUILDS (12TH CENTURY)
ORIGIN
WHEN
WHERE
WHY
. Many guilds came about because the growing population in cities and towns led to increases in specialization and division of labor.
The continental system of guilds and merchants arrived in England after the Norman Conquest and Germany, 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.
Guilds flourished in Europe between the 11th and 16th centuries and formed an important part of the economic and social fabric in that era.

European guilds imposed rules such as long standardized periods of apprenticeship, agreement about the prices and made it difficult for those lacking the capital to set up for themselves or without the approval of their peers to gain access to materials or knowledge because If you didn't get in one as a kid, you'd never get the chance to sell into certain markets (an area that equally dominated the guilds' concerns).
