The Power of Medieval European Guilds

Abstract: (5 pp.) After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe retained a sense of chaotic movement. The old structure of government and power had crumbled away, and no singular system was yet organized enough to replace it. A beginning of that re-organization began around the learning of the skills and the crafts of a trade; the structure was called the guild. Bibliography lists 4 sources. BBmdigld.doc
