A '''regent''', from the Latin ''regens'' "one who reigns" is anyone who acts as head of state, especially if not the [[monarch]] (who has higher titles). In a monarchy, a regent usually rules due to the actual monarch's absence, incapacity or minority, and may also be elected to rule during the ''sede vacante'' when the royal line has died out.

Thus, in [[France]], between 1060 and 1066, during the minority of '''Philip I''', his mother [[Princess]] Anne of [[Kiev]] acted as Regent. In 1552, during the reign of '''Henri II''' his queen, '''Catherine de Medici''' acted as Regent when the king left the kingdom on a military campaign to Metz in 1552. Again, on Henri's death in 1559, Catherine acted as Regent for their son, '''Francois II''', and on his death, for his brother and successor, '''Charles IX'''.
