The witenagemot, an assembly of the ruling class in Anglo-Saxon England, was effectively renamed the "parliament" during the reign of King Edward I in the late 13th century. This transformation marked a shift from a council of nobles advising the king to a more structured legislative body that included representatives from various regions and social classes. The evolution of the witenagemot into parliament laid the groundwork for the modern British legislative system.
