The Royal Council of Castile during the minority of John II
Abstract
This article analyzes the development, function and structure of the Royal Council during the John II’s minority. From the early years of this period until the mid-1420’s, the Royal Council went through different phases, mainly three, during each of which the representatives of the kingdom’s government tried to control the Council in order to control Castile itself. This situation meant, occasionally, an increase in the number of advisors, especially nobles, and, to a lesser extent, church authorities and university graduates, which facilitates this study of the Council’s members: their moments of designation, political inclinations and meeting places.Downloads
