Council of Castile
The Council of Castile was the chief governing council of the Crown of Castile, created by John I in 1385 and reorganised by Isabella I and Ferdinand II in 1480 with a majority of university-trained lawyers. It acted as supreme court and administrative body for justice and internal government, and under the Habsburgs headed their system of councils. It was abolished in 1834.
