HOMEM, Armando Luís de Carvalho. From João das Regras to the Royal Council: men of law in the affirmation of the new dinasty. []. , 28, pp.67-89. ISSN 1646-740X.  https://doi.org/10.4000/medievalista.3302.

The organization of bureaucratic officiality after 1383-1385 essentially reproduces what had been outlined between the 30s and the 70s of the 14th. Century. When it comes to specific officers, the scene differs, since there is an obvious renewal of bureaucrats, mainly clerics and lawmen. The 15th. Century will be, already in the days of King John I, a time when official status is held longer, being increasingly categorized as careers. As for the Royal Council, the king reserves to himself the right to organize the political level of the governmental organs (of more or less intense activity), and to appoint their members. The new dynasty will also reinforce the legal image of royalty, through idea of King-legislator, not so much as the result of creation, as of collection and systematization of the law in force.
