3918historical_info = flavor_cas.65.historical_info The towns and cities of Castile and León were governed by a system called the concejo abierto - 'open council'. This council was elected anually, usually distributed among the parishes (neighborhoods) of the place, and would be in charge of choosing in turn the key magistrates of the year, such as the mayor and the judges. This system would progressively concentrate the appointments in a series of families, normally coming from ranks of the caballeros villanos, who would control the annual election of the council and its designated positions. In 1345, King Alfonso XI implemented a new system of government for the towns and cities of the kingdom. Called Regimiento, it would be centered around the regidores, councilors directly elected by the king among those of highest rank in each place. This system that would initially put the monarchy in charge of the municipal government was eroded in the following century, as the richest and most powerful families took over the positions, normally with the support of certain noble families, who would become the real power in the royal towns and cities.
