- The Witan - Group of advisers: clergymen, land-owning barons and other advisors chosen by the king to discuss matters of state, taxation and other political affairs - The Great Council - Included more advisors and they met 3 times a year. - Moots - meetings of local bishops, lords, sheriffs and, importantly, commoners who were representatives of their counties or “shires.” The king did whatever he wanted
