The Porters’ Guild was an association created at the end of the 13th century, made up of the professionals who transported the merchandise that arrived in the port of Barcelona, and the merchandise from the city shipping out of the port. One of the purposes of the guild was to look out for the interests of its members and their families, as a form of social protection.

In this document, conserved in the Guild collection, powers are given to Marçal Noguera, the guardian of Caterina, a young girl who cannot yet work and who has no money. He is permitted to sell mortgages on her inheritance, so that he can obtain 39 pounds to dress and feed her.
