A quick definition of Council of the North:

Term: Council of the North

Definition: The Council of the North was a group of people who helped the kings and queens of England to look after the northern parts of the country, especially Yorkshire, during the 16th and 17th centuries. They made sure that the rules of the king or queen were followed and they also had the power to deal with crimes and legal problems. The Council stopped working around 1640.

A more thorough explanation:

The Council of the North was a group of people who were chosen by the Tudors to manage the northern parts of England, especially Yorkshire, during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The council was created to enforce the policies of the Crown in the northern territories. The members of the council, many of whom were lawyers, had the power to make decisions about both criminal and civil matters.

The Council of the North was first established before the Tudor period, but it was revived by Henry VIII. It was disbanded around 1640.

Example: The Council of the North was responsible for making sure that the people in Yorkshire followed the laws of the Crown. They had the power to punish people who broke the law and to settle disputes between individuals.

This example illustrates how the Council of the North had the authority to enforce the laws of the Crown and to maintain order in the northern territories.
