Worshipful Company Of Mercers
The Worshipful Company of Mercers is the premier Livery Company of the City of London and ranks first in the order of precedence of the Companies. It is the first of the Great Twelve City Livery Companies. Although of even older origin, the company was incorporated under a Royal Charter in 1394, the company's earliest extant Charter. The company's aim was to act as a trade association for general merchants, and especially for exporters of wool and importers of velvet, silk and other luxurious fabrics (mercers). By the 16th century many members of the company had lost any connection with the original trade. Today, the Company exists primarily as a charitable institution, supporting a variety of causes. The company's motto is ''Honor Deo'', Latin for "Honour to God". Etymology The word "mercer" derives from the Latin ''merx, mercis'', "merchandise" from which root also derives the word "merchant". The words ''mercero'' and ''mercier'', still used in Spanish and French respectiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
