The guild was named after St Knud Lavard (1096−1131), son of Eric I of Denmark, Duke of Schleswig.

[1] The guild was established probably in 13th century; it was mentioned first in 1326.

At the beginning, the guild was composed of artisans and merchants.

After the creation of the Great Guild (circa 14th century), the merchants relocated thence.
