	Medieval guilds were established in order to make sure that the rights of the craftsmen they represented were protected. They did that by organising their members and representing them as a group, both in matters regarding the cityâ€™s administration and in their relations with other guilds and merchants.

In addition, guilds set rules with regard to working hours, wages and working conditions, which their members were supposed to abide by.<br>

	Another very important role of the medieval guilds ~~â€“~~ either merchant or craftsmen ~~â€“~~ was the enforcement of monopolies. Guilds allowed only their members the right to exercise a craft within the confines of a city. Anyone who wished to practice the craft had to be vetted and accepted into the guild before doing so. This ensured that the quality of work was regulated, but also that competition was kept in check. Medieval guilds were also responsible for any legal disputes between their members, and it was quite common for guild meetings to also have legal proceedings in their agenda.<br>		Another very important role of the medieval guilds – either merchant or craftsmen – was the enforcement of monopolies.

	Finally, in some cases, medieval guilds operated as the middleman when large contracts were placed by the city, or when competitions for a contract were announced by a king or noble. Contract competitions became more common with the rise of organised armies and militia, and particularly during times of conflict. A good example of this would have been the weavers or blacksmithâ€™s guilds of a city receiving a contract to product several thousand pieces of clothing or armour to equip a regiment of an army.

	Manorialism, amongst other things, was the result of the inability of high lords (like kings and dukes) to directly control their holdings. The agrarian manorialism system was an effective way to manage the land and its people by creating self-sufficient units (manors) controlled by one person (the Lord of the Manor), who would have a direct relationship with his lord (Knight, Baron, Earl, Duke etc). However, as the world emerged slowly from the dark ages and trade became once again a major economic force, towns were chartered as locations where people could exchange goods. Due to this influx of raw materials from the manors and all over the world, towns became manufacturing centres which all kinds of artisans and craftsmen called home. These skilled men came together and formed associations to protect their trade and their rights, and thus, medieval guilds enter the stage.
