History of local government in Bristol
Bristol City Council, formerly known as The Bristol Corporation (and colloquially as "The Corporation"), is the local government authority governing the city of Bristol, England. Following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, successive royal charters granted increasing rights of local governance to Bristol. County status was attained in 1373 and city status in the early sixteenth century. Bristol Corporation was established in the nineteenth century and the office of Lord Mayor was created in 1888. Following a brief period as part of the county of Avon in the late twentieth century, Bristol regained its status as a city and county in 1996.
==Origins==
The exact date of establishment of a town council is unknown. The Domesday survey recorded that Bristol, then known as ''Brygstowe'' was part of the royal manor of Barton and was a borough governed by a reeve, and assessed at 110 marks.〔
〕 Charters confirming rights and duties were granted by Henry II in 1172 and by John in 1190. The first mayor may have been Robert FitzNichol who took office in 1200. As the town developed the mayor was assisted by provosts, later known as stewards and bailiffs. The mayor was chosen by the merchants of Bristol.〔 A list of mayors dating from 1216 was published by the town clerk, Robert Ricart, in 1479.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mayors of Bristol since 1216 )〕 A charter granted by Henry III in 1256, extended the town's rights, enabling the burgesses to choose coroners and to farm the fees payable to the king.〔
