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.)

Must rule the empire of himself; in it

On vanquished will, quelling the anarchy
Of hopes and fears, being himself alone.”
