Royal Council of Spain

The Royal Council of Spain, known as the "Consejo Real," historically served as an advisory and administrative body advising the monarch on governance, law, and policy matters. It functioned as a key institution within Spain's royal administration, helping the king manage different areas like justice, finance, and foreign relations. Over time, its role has evolved, and in modern Spain, the term may refer to various specialized councils or legislative bodies, but traditionally, it was a central institution in advising the monarch and contributing to the governance of the kingdom.
