Landgrave's Council

The Landgrave's Council was a governing body established in some German principalities during the Middle Ages, particularly in the Landgraviate of Hesse. It consisted of nobles and other influential figures who advised the Landgrave, the region's ruler. This council played a crucial role in decision-making, administration, and law-making. Its function was to ensure the balance of power among the nobility and the ruler while addressing local issues and governance. Over time, such councils contributed to the development of more structured forms of government in the regions they served.
