The **regimiento**, **cabildo de regidores** or **concejo cerrado** ("closed council") was a system of local government established from the 14h century onwards in the [Crown of Castile](/source/Crown_of_Castile).[1] A feature of the progressive [oligarchization](/source/Oligarchy) of the form of government in the cities, the change from the overruled [concejo abierto](/source/Concejo_abierto) system entailed a reduction of the government to a relatively small number of *regidores*.[2] Urban oligarchies intended to fully capture the nomination of the regidores (appointed by the monarch in the case of *realengo*) since the beginning.[2] The bulk of the establishment of the new regime chiefly took place between 1345 and the later years of the reign of [Alfonso XI of Castile](/source/Alfonso_XI_of_Castile).[3]
