	Witan - LoveToKnow 1911
		As the number of kings decreased the number of witans decreased, until early in the 9th century there was one king and one witan in all England.
		Generally speaking, it diminished as the years went by, and from "necessary assenters" its members became "merely attesting witnesses." Its duties are shown by the preamble to the laws of Ine, king of Wessex, and 200 years later by the preamble to those of Alfred the Great, while several similar cases could be instanced.
		The witan was also a court of justice, Earl Godwine and many other offenders receiving sentence of outlawry therein.

	New Normandy's Wita Gedryth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A witan is a group of three wizards or advisors named by the sacral leader of a tribe for the purpose of handling both secular and sacral matters.
		Since we have established that a Witan's primary function is warding the luck of the tribe, it would seem to follow without saying that if any decision is to be made of a sacral nature, this decision must at the very least not be gainsaid or opposed by the Witan.
		Should the Witan feel that the proposed action is a threat to the luck of the tribe that is without basis in need or advancement of the tribe, then the Witan would have the option to Gainsay the action.
