Royal Council of Castile

The Royal Council of Castile was a key governing body established in medieval Spain, particularly during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. It served as the king’s main advisory and administrative council, helping to govern the kingdom by overseeing justice, administration, and policy decisions. The council consisted of experienced advisors and officials who managed daily affairs, ensured royal laws were enforced, and advised on political matters. Its role was crucial in maintaining royal authority across Castile, and it helped coordinate governance in a period before modern centralized states.
