Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect-distinguish Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Italic title Curia regis (Шаблон:IPA) is a Latin term meaning "royal council" or "king's court". It was the name given to councils of advisers and administrators in medieval Europe who served kings, including kings of France, Norman kings of England and Sicily, kings of Poland and the kings and queens of Scotland.

England

After the Norman Conquest of 1066, the central governing body of the Kingdom of England was called the Шаблон:Lang. Before the Conquest, the Anglo-Saxons called this body the witan, and English writers continued to use this term as well. It corresponded to the Шаблон:Lang of the Frankish kingdoms, and this name was also applied to the English Шаблон:Lang.Шаблон:Sfn It was similar to, but not the same as, the Шаблон:Lang which served the Dukes of Normandy.Шаблон:Sfn

The Шаблон:Lang conducted the business of state whether legislative, judicial, or diplomatic.Шаблон:Sfn Its membership was the tenants-in-chief (i.e. the baronage, including bishops and abbots) along with the great officers of state and of the royal household, such as the chancellor, constable, treasurer or chamberlain, marshal, and steward.Шаблон:Sfn Occasionally, these would be summoned by the king to meet as a Шаблон:Lang (Latin for "great council").Шаблон:Sfn

In between great councils, the Шаблон:Lang remained in session; though, its membership was much smaller. The smaller curia was composed of royal officers and barons attending the monarch.Шаблон:Sfn English kings had itinerant courts during this period, and the small curia followed the king in all his travels. As they traveled the kingdom, the king and curia often heard suitors in person.Шаблон:Sfn The powers and functions of the great council and the small curia were identical since they were considered the same institution meeting under different circumstances.Шаблон:Sfn

During the 13th century, the great council and the small curia separated into two distinct bodies. The great council evolved into Parliament and the small curia evolved into the Privy Council.Шаблон:Sfn The small Шаблон:Lang then is "the very distant ancestor of the modern executive, the Cabinet acting for the authority of the crown." Early government departments also developed out of the small curia regis, such as the chancery, the treasury, and the exchequer.Шаблон:Sfn

France

Шаблон:Main In France the King's Court, called the Curia Regis in Latin, functioned as an advisory body under the early Capetian kings. It was composed of a number of the king's trusted advisers but only a few travelled with the king at any time. By the later twelfth century it had become a judicial body with a few branching off to remain the king's council.[1]

By the fourteenth century the term curia regis was no longer used.[1] However, it was a predecessor to later sovereign assemblies: the Parlement, which was a judiciary body, the Chamber of Accounts, which was a financial body, and the King's Council.[2]

Poland

The Шаблон:Ill in early medieval times was composed exclusively by King's will. Over time, in addition to King's appointments, certain higher dignitaries were assumed to belong to the Council owing to their functions. The following dignitaries were permanent members of the Council in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland:

By the end of the 15th century the Royal Council was transformed into the Senate of Poland.

Spain (Castile)

Шаблон:Main The earliest form of the Royal Council in Spain was created in 1385 by King John after the disaster at the Battle of Aljubarrota. It was reestablished under Queen Isabella I in 1480 as the chief body dealing with administrative and judicial matters of the realm. The Council was dissolved in 1834 by Isabel II.
