the most ancient and famous citie of the whole
realme was at length destroied by the Danes,
and left desolate: as may appeare by our hi
stories. But Aelfred king of the west Sax
ons, hauing brought this whole realme (from many partes) into
one Monarchie, honorablie repaired this Cittie, and made it a
gaine habitable, and then committed the custodie thereof to his
sonne in law Adhered Earle of Mercia: after whose decease the

in the kings handes, being gouerned vnder him by Portgraues (or
Portreues)
Portgraues.
which name is compounded of the two Saxon words,
Porte, and Gerefe or Reue. Porte betokeneth a Towne, and
Gerefe signifieth a Gardian, ruler, or kéeper of the towne.
These Gouernors of old time (saith Robert Fabian) with the
lawes and customes then vsed within this cittie, were registred in
a booke called the Doomesday, in the Saxon tongue: but of later
daies when the said lawes and customes were chaunged, and for
that also the saide booke was of a small hande, and sore defaced, it
was lesse set by, so that it was imbeseled, and lost. Thus farre
Fabian.
Notwithstanding I haue found by search of diuers olde Regi
sters and other records, namely in a booke sometime appertayning
to the Monasterie of S. Albons,

In the raigne of William Conqueror, William Bishop of Lon

In the raigne of King Stephen, Gilbet Becket was Portgraue,
and Andrew Bucheuet Prouost.
After him, Godfrey Magnauile, the son of William, the sonne of
Godrey Magnavile, by the gift of Maulde the Empresse, was
Portgraue or Sheriffe of London and Middlesex, forthe yearely
farms of thrée hundreth pound, as appeareth by the Charter.
In the time of King Henry the ſecond, Peter Fitz Walter was
Portgraue: after him, Iohn Fitz Nigel was Portgraue: after him,
Ernulfus Buchel became Portgraue: and after him, William Fitz
Isabell

are also in diuers records called Uice
counties, Uicounties, or Sheriffes, as béeing vnder an Earle, for
that they then, as since, vsed that office as the Sheriffes of London
doo till this day. Some authors do call them Domesmen, Eldermen,
or Iudges of the Kings Court.
William Fitz Stephen noting the estate of this Cittie, and go
uernment thereof, in his time vnder the raigne of King Stephen,
and of Henry the second, hath these words.
This Cittie (saith hee) euen as Rome, is diuided into words, it
hath yearly Sheriffes in stead of Consuls, it hath the dignitie of Se
nators and Aldermen, it hath vnder Officers, & according to the
quallitie of lawes, it hath seuerall Courts, and generall assemblies
vpon appoynted daies
. Thus much for the antiquitie of Sheriffes,
and also of Aldermen, in seuerall Wards of this cittie, may suffice.
And now for the name of Bailiffes, and after that, of Maior I finde
as followeth.
In the first yeare of King Richard the first, the cittizens of London
obtained to be gouerned by 2. Bailiffes,
Bailiffes of London.
which balliffes are in diuers
auncient déeds called Shriues, according to the spéech of the lawe,
which called the Shire Balliua, for that they like as the Portgraues,
vsed the same office of Shriuewicke, for the which the citie paid to
fée farm of thrée hundreth pounds yearly as afore, since the raigne of
Henry the first
, which also is yet paid by the citie into the Exchequer
vntill this day.
They also obtained to haue a Maior, to bee their principall Go

said, and I had thought to haue touched: but being informed
that a learned Gentleman, a citizen borne, minded
such a labor, and promised to performe it, I
haue forborne, and left the same to
