Witan
Where the most important, and therefore the wisest, meet to advise the king.Periodically, when the king desired the counsel of the best minds of his kingdom, he convened the 'Witenagemot', consisting of both nobles and clergymen. The 'Witan', as the members were known, were likely advising English rulers for centuries before we have evidence of it, but the first recorded legal codes produced by them date to around AD600 and the reign of Aethelberht of Kent. Witenagemots may have developed out of the 'folkmoots' of Germanic tribes, where communities gathered to discuss matters of governance. Though issues of national significance would be discussed, the council would advise on a local level also.
