The king demanded from his tenants-in-chief that they should meet in his
curia regis. So William I had his thrice yearly crown-wearings, attended
by "all the rich men over all England, archbishops and bishops, abbots and
earls, thegns and knights" (Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, ad ann, 1087). So too,
in France there was the cour du roy, dating from the earliest Capetian
times, the court of the king's demesne or immediate tenants; at this royal
court, whether in England or in France, all the tenants-in-chief, at any
rate in the days of the full force of feudalism, were obliged to attend. The
same court existed in the Holy Roman
Empire and was of great importance, at least till the death of Henry V
(Bryce, Holy Roman Empire, London, 1904, viii, 120-129).

The Curia Regis, literally "Royal Court," is the official advisory body
to the Crown, charged with the duty to consult, deliberate, and advise
on all matters involving the governance of the kingdom, and particularly
on Kingdom Law. The Curia Regis has existed as an advisory body since the
early days of the Midrealm, and is provided for in Kingdom Law.
From Kingdom Law,
Section II-101:
The Crown shall have power to change
these laws only after obtaining sage counsel from the Curia Regis as herein
defined, provided that said changes do not in any way conflict with any
part of the laws of the modern governmental institutions having authority
over those areas within which the Middle Kingdom is said to hold sway.
These changes must be publicly proclaimed at Court and published in the
Pale before becoming law.
