  • The WITAN
    • The council that advised the king
      • Not a limitation to the King's power
        • The King decided who was appointed
        • The King decided what the WITAN should advise him on
          • The King did not have to listen to the WITAN's advice
          • Normally:
          • Military advice
          • Religious affairs
          • Land disputes and resolutions
    • When a new King was needed, the WITAN needed to approve
      • After the death of Edward the confessor in 1066, the WITAN supported Harold Godwinson
