Richard Bodkin
Richard Bodkin, Mayor of Galway 1610-11.
Bodkin was sworn into office on 29 September 1610. As Galway was granted a new charter on 18 December by James II, Bodkin appears to have been the first Mayor to have a sword borne before him. The sword is still property of Galway corporation. The title of bailiff, the Mayor's two deputies, was changed to sheriff, the first two being Patrick Martyn and Christopher Bodkin.
