The guilds were very powerful. I noticed that in one of the walled cities of Siebenbürgen (Transylvania) that each guild sponsored one of the towers that protected the town of Hermannstadt (these were Germans in what is now called Sibiu). Thanks also for your comment on my post -- my grandmother was also part of a guild -- of dressmakers. People always tried to protect their professions.
