Answer

The regency council that governed Romania during Michael's first reign as king was composed of Prince Nicolas, Patriarch Miron Cristea and Chief Justice Gheorghe Buzdugan. The council was created in 1927 after Michael's father, King Ferdinand I, died without leaving a male heir. Michael was only six years old at the time, so the council was created to rule in his stead until he reached the age of majority.
