The Council of the West was a short-lived administrative body established by Henry VIII of England for the government of the western counties of England (Cornwall, Devonshire, Dorset, and Somerset). It was analogous in form to the Council of the North; and also comparable to the Council of Wales and the Marches.

  • The Council of the West was a short-lived administrative body established by Henry VIII of England for the government of the western counties of England (Cornwall, Devonshire, Dorset, and Somerset). It was analogous in form to the Council of the North; and also comparable to the Council of Wales and the Marches. The Council was established in March 1539, with Lord Russell as its Lord President. Members included , Sir Piers Edgcumbe, Sir Richard Pollard and John Rowe. However, the fall of Thomas Cromwell, the chief political supporter of government by Councils, and the tranquility of the western counties made it largely superfluous. It last sat in the summer of 1540, although it was never formally abolished. The influential role of Russell in the region, however, continued and he was instrumental in the putting down of the Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549. The historian has argued that, if Cromwell had not fallen, the Council would have become part of a network of such bodies, and that his fall saved the region, and England, from his "passion for a salaried bureaucracy".

  • Совет Запада (англ. Council of the West) был недолговечным административным органом, созданным королём Англии Генрихом VIII для управления западными графствами Англии (Корнуолл, Девоншир, Дорсет и Сомерсет). По форме он был аналогичен Совету Севера; а также сопоставим с Советом Уэльса и Марки. Совет был создан в марте 1539 года, и его лордом-президентом стал лорд Рассел. Среди участников были Томас Дерби, сэр Пирс Эджкамб, сэр и Джон Роу. Однако падение Томаса Кромвеля, главного политического сторонника правления советами, и спокойствие в западных графствах сделали его в значительной степени излишним. В последний раз он заседал летом 1540 года, хотя формально так и не был отменён. Однако роль Рассела в регионе оставалась влиятельной, и он сыграл важную роль в подавлении восстания Книги Молитв в 1549 году. Историк Джойс Юингс утверждал, что, если бы Кромвель не пал, Совет стал бы частью сети таких органов, и что его падение спасло регион и Англию от его «страсти к наёмной бюрократии». (ru)
