Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of mayor, not only the modern city executive. Historians write of the mayors of the palace, the royal stewards of the Frankish Empire, with the plural falling on mayor rather than palace. In some US cities mayors are largely ceremonial: they preside over the council while a contracted city manager holds executive power. So two mayors need not do the same job.
