Conseil de régence de Montbéliard (founded 1498), government body

The council was founded on the accession of Ulrich VI (1487–1550) as duke of Württemberg at the age of 11, in order to administer the principality of Montbéliard; it originally had the title of Cour de Chancellerie. The council remained in existence until the French Revolution, when the principality was annexed in 1793.
