The guilds were formally recognized professions in Europe during the Middle Ages. Charters were issued to them, giving them the right to establish quality guidelines for their craft and for the training of new craftsmen. Many guilds are very ancient. The Tailors and Courtiers were issued charter in 1152. The Royal Order of Chivalry guilds exist for a unique but similar purpose, that is, the establishing of modern day skills and crafts that can be used by the Order member in a lifetime profession. Guild Masters' or Mistress' are members of the Order who have shown and displayed excellence in their area of study and have been elevated to heads of their guilds. Below are some of the active guilds recognized in the Western Confederation.
