Governed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruled

'governed' is the definition.
('rule' can be a synonym of 'govern')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ruled that I've seen before include "Reigned or ordered" , "with several lines" , "Governed - with lines" , "Governed, used one's authority" , "Made authoritative statement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Telegraph.
