Why did the craft guilds form in the middle ages?
Answer: To provide structure and support for artisans who shared a trade.
The craft guild formed an important part of town life during the medieval period because they trained young people in a skilled job, regulated the quality of goods sold, and were major forces in community life. There were three stages for a craft guild: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master.
