Council of Portugal

The Council of Portugal, officially, the Royal and Supreme Council of Portugal (Portuguese: Real e Supremo Conselho de Portugal; Spanish: Real y Supremo Consejo de Portugal), was the ruling body and a key part of the government of the Kingdom of Portugal during the Iberian Union.

[1] It provided Portugal with a large degree of autonomy from the House of Habsburg.

The council ceased to exist after the conclusion of the Portuguese Restoration War in 1668.
