king's council
Monarch's advisory body
A king's council is the body of advisers surrounding a monarch, helping to govern and make decisions of state.
In medieval England, this evolved into more formal institutions—the Privy Council and eventually Parliament.
The term appears in historical and fantasy contexts: The king's council debated whether to go to war.
