Answer 1

Merchants almost always supported their king, as they needed stability for trade. In exchange, the king would encourage growth and trade. The merchant guild controlled trade within the town, regulating everything from prices and quality to licenses and business practices. Guilds were all-powerful and if a merchant was kicked out of one, he would likely not be able to earn a living again.
