CORPORATIONS
The bodies or corporations were groups of people dedicated to the exercise and defense of the interests and privileges of a trade. In Paris, among these bodies, a hierarchy had not taken long to form with on the one hand the six “great” bodies, then then 127 various corporations. Among the six major corps, the first was that of drapers and woolen weavers. The arms of the six corps were adopted in general assembly in 1629, and in agreement with the city of Paris, each corps adopted the ships for its arms.
