- Hanuman_2000 Hello, 1.
- He was a minister at/in the court of a king.
- Which option between (at/in) is correct?
- 'In' would be the American, though I think that perhaps 'at' would be the preference of the British.

i don´t know the correct answer, but i though that "in" is the correct, becouse the minister is inside of the court.

Innuendo,
I would construct your sentence thus:
Either 'I didn't know the correct answer, but I thought that 'in' was correct because the minister is inside the court', or 'I don't know the correct answer, but I think that 'in' is correct because the minister is inside the court.'
In the first sentence, I'm explaining a past event, 'didn't know', 'thought', and 'was'.
