Just a small addition. The Old English word for mayor comes to us in our word "reeve", usually used (in my part of the world) in terms of 'reeve of the township'. The modern City council 'alderman' comes from the OE 'ealdorman' (not sure if that is the correct spelling and my books aren't near me now.)
