Annotated List of Regents

[edit]

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.).


    • Lulu, Regent of Aleppo.
    • Tancred, Prince of Galilee, (1072-1112), Regent of Antioch, 1101-1103, when Bohemund I was taken prisoner by the Danishmends, and 1105-1112, in the name of the young Bohemund II
    • Roger of Salerno (d.1119), Regent of Antioch, 1112-1119, for Bohemund II who was still a child.
    • Alice of Rethel (1110-36), Lady of Laodicea and Gibel, in her own right. Regent of Antioch, 1130, 1135-1136
  • 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]
    • Riccardo of Salerno (c1060-1144), Regent of Edessa, 1104-1108. He was bitterly hated by the citizens of Edessa for being ruthless and greedy.
    • 1164-1174: Amalric I of Jerusalem, Regent of Tripoli when Raymond III, was captured by Nur ed-Din and remained in prison.
