The merchants in Malmo were known as "cloth merchants' guild" The merchants were named after the right to cut cloth pieces and therefore had the right to sell the cloth by the ell. The guild was a secular sister guild to the Holy Body Guild, and the alderman chosen by the guild's members would swear allegiance to the Holy Body Guild and its altar, as well as be- ing a member of the council in Malmo. The cloth merchants' guild worshi- ped the Holy Body and formed the majority of the visitors to the Holy Body Chapel. However, over time, the high cloth warehouses on the city's main street passed into different hands. As early as the 1400s, the owners of the corner warehouse and one of the other warehouses had donated the warehouses or certain annual payments from them to the Lund Cathedral chapter, and subsequently, these warehouses, called chapter property, were given as annual land taxes to the Lund Cathedral chapter. For example, in 1435, the corner warehouse - a cloth warehouse with a full basement - was owned by cloth merchant Jacob Maghensson, and the second aforementio- ned warehouse - a cloth warehouse with a living area - was owned by cloth merchant Aghe Michilsson, who lived in the property. Through a contract with Archbishop Peder Lykke, the Cathedral chapter and church wardens of Lund on April 11, 1435, the Archbishop's and chapter's properties, including the aforementioned two cloth warehouses, were freed from any further participation in the fortification of the city, whether it was building the city wall or the construction of palisades and trenches around the city. However, it was noted that the residents or owners of the properties would not be exempt from their obligations and would fulfill their fortification duties like any other citizen.
