Governed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruled

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">governed</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('rule' can be a synonym of 'govern')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(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 Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Universal.
