[edit] Annotated List of Regents

This is a list of people who were designated, acted or served as "Regent" in the various monarchies or polities of the world. (There is already an article Regent which I hope to expand upon after organizing my data in this User Subpage based on a 48-page list I have collected over the years.)

This list will be organized by "state" or polity which existed in the past and are now within the territorial boundaries of modern-day countries (i.e., France, Italy, Germany, Poland, etc.).


[edit] Cyprus

  • The rule on regency: "The kings of Cyprus, being men of action frequently at war, often died young and left their kingdom to a young child. Hence there were constant minorities and the necessity for choosing a regent. The rule laid down in the Assizes was that the mother of the heir should be his guardian, and in case of her death the nearest next of kin to the king. If no such person could be found, a regent was chosen by the High Court of the kingdom." [1]
