Xunta of the Kingdom of Galicia

The Xunta, Xunta General, Xuntas, or Cortes of the Kingdom of Galicia was the representative assembly of the Kingdom of Galicia from the 1528 —when it originated as a general assembly of all the powers of the Kingdom aimed at the constitution of hermandades (brotherhood)— and until 1834, when the Kingdom and its General Assembly were officially disbanded by a Royal decree. It declared itself the supreme authority of the Kingdom from June 18, 1808, during the Peninsular war and due to the abdication of the King, and until Galicia was conquered by the Napoleonic troops in 1809.
