<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Guilds of medieval Europe were groups of experts from different occupational sectors. There were two main types of guilds: merchant guilds and craft guilds. The merchant guilds were the first to emerge. They formed leagues in many cities, linked to one another to keep track of trade. The Hanseatic League, which regulated the trade activities of many cities in Europe, is an example of this.
