In the [[Kingdom of England]], the '''{{lang|la|Magnum Concilium}}''' ([[Latin]] for '''"Great Council"''') was an [[Deliberative assembly|assembly]] historically convened at certain times of the year when the English [[nobles]] and church leaders outside the ''[[Curia regis]]'' were summoned to discuss the affairs of the country with [[History of the English monarchy|the king]]. In the 13th century, the Great Council was superseded by the [[Parliament of England]], which had developed out of the Council. The Great Council was last summoned by [[Charles I of England|Charles I]] in 1640.
