Although soon restored to a full civil Governorship, in his military role as Commander-in-chief he remained subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief in Halifax, and naval and ecclesiastic links to the <a href="/wiki/Maritimes" class="mw-redirect" title="Maritimes">Maritimes</a> remained. The military links were severed by Canadian confederation at the end of the 1860s, when the governor of Bermuda, in his office of <i>Commander-in-Chief of Bermuda</i>, was elevated upon the removal of the British Army from Canada and the taking up by the Canadian Dominion Government of responsibility for the defence of all of the former British North American continental colonies excepting Newfoundland.

Although most of the passengers and crew ultimately completed their voyage to <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a>, the archipelago was permanently settled from that point, and left in the hands of the Virginia Company. The first intentional settlers arrived in 1612, under Richard Moore, whose appointment was officially as the deputy governor of Bermuda. Sir Thomas Smith remained in England as the first governor and treasurer of Bermuda. A carpenter by trade, Moore ensured the long-term survival of the colony by concentrating on building fortifications, including the <a href="/wiki/Castle_Islands_Fortifications,_Bermuda" title="Castle Islands Fortifications, Bermuda">first stone forts in the English New World</a>, and developing <a href="/wiki/St._George%27s,_Bermuda" title="St. George's, Bermuda">St. George's Town</a>. Moore brought with him to Bermuda two consecutively numbered boxes. The first, only to be opened in the case of his death, incapacitation or absence from the colony, contained the name of the settler who was to replace him. In the case of that settler also having died, or otherwise being incapable of taking the office, a second was named in the other box. More was also instructed to appoint a <i>Counsell of Six</i> to assist in the governance of the colony. The six appointed Counsellors were Captain Miles Kendall, Captain John Mansfield, Thomas Knight, Charles Caldycot, Edward Waters (some records give his name as <i>Robert Waters</i>),<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Christopher Carter (Christopher Carter and Edward Waters were among three men who had first arrived in Bermuda with the 1609 wreck of the <a href="/wiki/Sea_Venture" title="Sea Venture">Sea Venture</a>. They had remained behind when the <i>Deliverance</i> and <i>Patience</i> had departed for Jamestown in 1610 with the remainder of the Sea Venture's passengers and crew, and remained again with the addition of Edward Chard, after the Patience had returned from Jamestown and departed once more in the same year for England, thereby ensuring that Bermuda has been permanently settled since the wreck of the Sea Venture). </p><p>Bermuda was the second permanent English colony established (as an extension of the first, <a href="/wiki/Jamestown,_Virginia" title="Jamestown, Virginia">Jamestown, Virginia</a>, which had been settled in 1607). Bermuda was administered under <a href="/wiki/Royal_charter" title="Royal charter">Royal charters</a> by the Virginia Company, and its successor, the <a href="/wiki/Somers_Isles_Company" title="Somers Isles Company">Somers Isles Company</a>, which appointed the colony's governors until the Crown revoked the charter and took over administration in 1684. With the transfer to the Somers Isles Company in 1615, Sir Thomas Smith remained in England as Governor and Treasurer of Bermuda, and Captain <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Tucker_(colonial_administrator)" title="Daniel Tucker (colonial administrator)">Daniel Tucker</a> was sent to Bermuda in 1616 aboard the <i>George</i>, in consort with the <i>Edwin</i>, to succeed Moore as Deputy Governor. Twenty-four Assistants were also appointed. By the 1630s, the Somers Isles Company had ceased sending Governors to Bermuda and had begun appointing prominent Bermudians, such as <a href="/wiki/William_Sayle" title="William Sayle">William Sayle</a>, to the position. </p><p>The Crown maintained the system of government established under the company; an elected parliament (originally a single <a href="/wiki/House_of_Assembly" title="House of Assembly">House of Assembly</a>, which held is first session in 1620) which held its and a privy council under a governor. The Privy Council, made up of the chief justice, certain senior civil servants, and appointees, was also known as the Governor's Council and the Legislative Council (most of its responsibilities are now filled by the Cabinet and the <a href="/wiki/Senate_of_Bermuda" title="Senate of Bermuda">Senate of Bermuda</a>, with the council now only an advisory body for the governor). The last company-appointed governor was reappointed by the Crown. In 1707 the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Great_Britain" title="Kingdom of Great Britain">British state</a> was created by the union of the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_England" title="Kingdom of England">Kingdom of England</a> with the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Scotland" title="Kingdom of Scotland">Kingdom of Scotland</a>, and Bermuda thereby became a British colony. Since the 1783 independence of Virginia, it has been Britain's oldest colony. Following US independence, Bermuda became an <a href="/wiki/Imperial_fortress" title="Imperial fortress">imperial fortress</a>, with an important <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> base and a large <a href="/wiki/Bermuda_Garrison" title="Bermuda Garrison">military garrison</a> to guard it.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As such, the policy of the government until the 1950s, when the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Naval_Dockyard,_Bermuda" title="Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda">Royal Naval Dockyard</a> was reduced to a base (in 1951) leading to the final closure of the regular army's <a href="/wiki/Bermuda_Garrison" title="Bermuda Garrison">Bermuda Garrison</a> in 1957, had been to appoint (often retiring) senior military (or occasionally naval) officers as Bermuda's governor and commander-in-chief. On the rare occasions when a civilian was appointed to the role, it was only as governor – with operational command of the garrison in the hands of the senior lieutenant-colonel in Bermuda, who was appointed brigadier and subordinate to a military commander elsewhere. Since the 1964, those appointed governor and commander-in-chief have tended to be prominent career-politicians at the ends of their political lives. </p><p>Prior to the creation of the lower (and, originally, <i>only</i>) <a href="/wiki/House_(legislature)" title="House (legislature)">house</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Bermuda" title="Parliament of Bermuda">Parliament of Bermuda</a>, the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Assembly_of_Bermuda" title="House of Assembly of Bermuda">House of Assembly</a>, in 1620, the governors ruled supreme, and were often draconian.

One Bermudian, John Wood, was hanged for airing his views on the governor in church. Governor Tucker's personal boat was reportedly stolen by five islanders, one named Saunders, who left a note saying they were <i>on their way to England, or <a href="/wiki/Davy_Jones%27_Locker" class="mw-redirect" title="Davy Jones' Locker">Davy Jones' Locker</a>, either place being preferable</i> to Bermuda under Tucker's rule. On reaching England, they complained about the harshness of Tucker's rule, though their complaints fell on deaf ears.

No one was ever prosecuted in relation to this act of treason. The theft had been the result of a conspiracy involving powerful Bermudians, who were motivated as much by Bermuda's desperate plight, denied her primary trading partner and source of food, as by any favourable sentiments they may have had in regard to either the American colonists or their cause. The chief conspirator was <a href="/wiki/Henry_Tucker_of_The_Grove" title="Henry Tucker of The Grove">Henry Tucker of The Grove</a> (the <i>overplus</i> estate appropriated in 1616 by Governor Daniel Tucker), a member of the House of Assembly, former member of the council, and militia officer (soon to be promoted to colonel), who had plotted with <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin" title="Benjamin Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a> while attending the rebel <a href="/wiki/Continental_Congress" title="Continental Congress">Continental Congress</a> as a delegate for Bermuda.

Following this, Bermudians and their political institutions were looked at suspiciously by the British government. </p><p>With the build-up of the naval and military bases on the island following American independence, the position of the governor was enhanced. Despite this, the governors – appointed by the Crown – remained largely dependent on the Bermudian parliament to pass laws and to provide funds. This fact often found governors pleading in vain for the required acts of parliament or money to carry out policies determined at Government House, or in London. This was particularly noticeable in the Bermudian parliament's neglect to maintain militia, which (other than during the course of the <a href="/wiki/American_War_of_1812" class="mw-redirect" title="American War of 1812">American War of 1812</a>), it allowed to become moribund after the build-up of the naval and military base began in 1795. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg/220px-Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="199" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg/330px-Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg/440px-Governor_of_Bermuda_at_Prospect_Camp_1902.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="905" /></a><figcaption>Governor Lt.

Successive governors were set the task of convincing the Bermudian parliament to raise the required units, but, concerned of being saddled with the cost of maintaining the entire garrison, as well as with the possibility for social disruption that could be caused by raising either racially segregated or integrated units, the Bermudian Parliamentarians simply refused.

The only other colony that suffered the same sort of division was Maryland, but Maryland had so many external issues that it's not even a comparable situation. By 1651, various political and religious factions in Bermuda had spent about a decade seizing power from each other, and then rebelling, imprisoning, banishing and otherwise abusing each other. Governors had been rotated every few months by a company that was, one, completely befuddled, two almost as passionately divided in England as its colony was in America, and three, which colonists were barely listening to at this point.<br /> <br /> There was a violent rebellion after King Charles was beheaded, and that prompted a purging of the company within England, as well as orders that the Independents who had been exiled and founded Eleutheria in the Bahamas be allowed to return. Like everywhere else in Commonwealth-era England and America, people could only vote if they signed an allegiance to the king-free government, which Bermuda's Presbyterians refused to do for over a year. And so, after a decade of unbridled animosity, this had given one side complete control over the island. And to their limited credit, the Company realized that this might be a problem. So, in order to try to address this issue, kind of? They reinstated Governor Josias Forster, who was known for being the island's most moderate of moderates.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=americanhistorypodcast.net&rft.atitle=English+Civil+Wars+27%3A+Witch+trials+in+the+Devil%27s+Isles&rft.date=2021-10-26&rft.aulast=Tanksalvala&rft.aufirst=Sarah&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Famericanhistorypodcast.net%2Fecw-27-witch-trials-in-the-devils-isles&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AGovernor+of+Bermuda" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-13"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-13">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFLefroy1981" class="citation book cs1">Lefroy, John Henry (1981). <i>Memorials of the Discovery and Early Settlement of the Bermudas or Somers Islands 1515–1685, Volume I</i>.
