The seven incorporated trades, with their million guild-brethren, with their hammers, their shuttles, and tools, what an army, fit to conquer that land of England, as we say, and hold it conquered!
"If a man, kinless of paternal relatives, fight and slay a man, and then if he have maternal relatives, let them pay a third of the 'wer'; his guild-brethren a third part; for a third let him flee. If he have no maternal relatives, let his guild-brethren pay half, for half let him flee."
"If a man kill a man thus circumstanced, if he have no relatives, let half be paid to the king, half to his guild-brethren." It is very hard for us to understand what that means. One would infer that the weregild was only paid by a man with relatives on his father's side. It doesn't say that, but that is the inference.
