Council of Flanders

This article is about the late-medieval and early-modern tribunal. For the pro-German council during World War I, see Raad van Vlaanderen.
Not to be confused with the modern institution known as the Flemish Council or the early-modern council advising the king of Spain on policy towards his possessions in the Low Countries known as the Supreme Council of Flanders.

The Council of Flanders (Dutch: Raad van Vlaanderen, French: Conseil de Flandres), primarily sitting in the Gravensteen in Ghent from 1407, was a court of law operating under the authority of the Count of Flanders and exercising jurisdiction throughout the County of Flanders.
