This was very interesting history of English trades. Since my earliest québécois ancestors were for the most part tradesmen (many recruited to come to New France as part of the Compagnie des cent associés) you’ve inspired me to try to do this for French guilds.
That would be very interesting! In the next video I move on to the Merchant Adventurers and mention a French counterpart so I know they had their own trade routes and pushes into colonization.
Fascinating! A guild could be such a rich source of information; a source I need to check for a couple of different lines.

A really interesting tour of the guilds/companies. You are very fortunate to have so many ancestors who were associated with them.
