Rulers During Early Period of Cambro-Norman/English Rule (1170-1284)
Rulers of Waterford, nominal or otherwise, till the succession of mayors begin. It appears that the first known charter was issued in 1205 by King John, although Waterford was declared a royal city by Henry II in 1171. It is known that Waterford had a Provost in 1195, so certainly there was a civil administration prior to the establishment of the mayoralty. Source for information in this section:.
- 11. Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (Strongbow) (1170)
- 12. Raymond le Gros (aka Raymond Fitzgerald) (1170)
- 13. King Henry II of England (1171)
(Provosts of Waterford preceded the mayors. -- Need to be added.)

“Remember how often you have postponed minding your interest, and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of, and from what kind of governor of it you are descended; that you have a set period assigned you to act in, and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts, it will quickly run off with you, and be lost beyond recovery.”
—Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121–180)
“But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
