| Abstract | The royal charter of incorporation of the Company of Merchant Taylors of the City of York was issued by Charles II on 26 April 1662 but the Company traces its origins back to the three medieval guilds of tailors, drapers and hosiers. The earliest reference to a guild organisation is to ordinances and a list of members dating from 1387. |
