"The story of the Skinners' Company began with two religious fraternities supported by members of the fur trade, but many date the Company itself to 1327, when it was incorporated by Royal Charter. As the Skinners became wealthier, they became more powerful and part of the government of the City. Like other guilds, their power was enhanced by the grant of royal charters that gave them enhanced status, legal protection and the right and duty to control their craft and trade. The Skinners obtained their first charter from Edward III in 1327. This is a copy of the 1327 charter from the reign of Charles II"
