Craft guilds rose to prominence within English boroughs during the later middle ages, assuming responsibility for regulating production and trade within their respective jurisdictions, but the author argues that this development was enabled and shaped by the support of the English Crown and the broader national interest in economic development. In their struggle to protect and expand their local interests, boroughs inevitably clashed with the interests of the surrounding countryside and with national economic priorities, an issue which the author argues was central to the eventual decline of craft guilds in the late medieval and early modern era.
