Merchants of the Staple

The Company of Merchants of the Staple of England, the Merchants of the Staple, also known as the Merchant Staplers, is an English company incorporated by Royal Charter in 1319 (and so the oldest mercantile corporation in England) dealing in wool, skins, lead and tin which controlled the export of wool to the continent during the late medieval period. The company of the staple may perhaps trace its ancestry back as far as 1282 or even further.〔G B Hotchkiss, ''Notes on A Treatise of Commerce by John Wheeler'', New York University Press, 1931〕
==Etymology==
In mediaeval Latin documents the common expression for ''staple'' is ''stabile emporium'', a staple (fixed mart), where such wares had to be brought; hence the assumed derivation of ''staple'' from ''stabile''. But the word is current in various allied meanings in the Germanic languages, as in O. Eng. ''stapol'', ''stapul'', a prop or post, from ''stapa'', a step; Dutch ''stapel'', a pile; Low Ger. ''stapel'', a heap, a warehouse; whence also O. Fr. ''estaple'', ''estape'' (N. Fr. ''étape''), a station, a stage, generally a town or mart where certain wares were brought on sale, and hence called 'staple wares', or simply 'staples.' The original idea, therefore, appears to be, not so much a ''staple'' or fixed place, as a post or raised platform approached by ''steps'', and arranged for a convenient sale of goods.〔George Cawston, A. H. Keane, ''Early Chartered Companies: A.D. 1296-1858''. Arnold, London. 1896〕
