Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of the Royal College of Surgeons of England: August 1, 1906 The Barbers' Company was by this time assuming a twofold character, for it. Consisted of two classes of members, those who were Barbers simply or practised only the minor branches of Surgery, such as blood-letting and tooth-drawing, and those who exercised the faculty of Surgery. In the year 1415 the Mayor and Aldermen required the Company to furnish them with a list of all the latter class of members, from which they selected two as Masters of those practising Surgery, leaving to the Company itself the election of the Masters of the Barbers. Meanwhile the Guild of Surgeons sought an alliance with the Physicians. About the year 1423, probably through the influence of Thomas Morstede (a Surgeon who accompanied Henry V. To Agincourt and who was afterwards Surgeon to Henry they obtained an Ordinance from the Court of Aldermen having for its object an association or Commonalty of Physicians and Surgeons. Fortified by the support of the Physicians, the Surgeons once more challenged the surgical privileges of the Barbers, but these were again confirmed by the Mayor and Aldermen in 1424. The scheme for a combination of Physicians and Surgeons fell through, but the Surgeons continued a separate body with Ordinances for the government of their Society. The volume containing these Ordinances, which were made in the year 1435, is still in existence and is now in the possession of the Barbers' Company. Freed from opposition, the Barbers' Company continued to grow in importance, and in the year 1462 the right of its members to practise Surgery was definitely established by letters patent granted by edward IV. In the first year of his reign. This Charter, from which the Royal College of Surgeons of England, as recited in the Charter of 1800, dates its constitutional history as a body corporate, was granted to the F teemen of the Mystery of Barbers of the City of London practising Surgery. They were made one Body and Perpetual Community with a Common Seal and with power to hold lands and make bye-laws. Provision was made for the annual election of two Masters to rule the Community, to have the scrutiny and government of all persons practising Surgery in London and its suburbs, as well as the supervision of their instrumentsand medicines, and to have power to inflict punishment upon offenders by fines, imprisonment and other reasonable means. No person was to be allowed to practise Surgery within the City of London and its suburbs unless first approved by the Masters of the Company. The surgical rights of the Barbers' Company were thus firmly established, and, as testimony to the eminence attained by the Surgeons of the Company, it is worthy of note that the Senior Warden of the Company, when the Charter was granted, was william Honnns, Serjeant - Surgeon to the King - probably the first to hold that office.
