Annotated List of Regents
This is a list of people who were designated, acted or served as "Regent" in the various monarchies or polities in Europe during the Medieval Age. (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.). Other territories outside of Europe will be added later.

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."

The duchess also negotiated tooth and nail with her son to ensure that she would receive half of the acquisitions that her husband had made during their marriage, as well as her dower in its entirety. She insisted on recuperating both the ten thousand livres from her dowry and the income generated from her dower. In 1315, Eudes IV succeeded his brother at the head of the duchy, but Agnes continued to participate actively in political decision-making, especially regarding the issue of the succession of the king of France. The Dowager of Burgundy, the last of Saint Louis' surviving children, then tried to use all her influence in support of her granddaughter, Jeanne of France, Marguerite's daughter, who in 1314 had been imprisoned with her cousins following the "scandal of Philip the Fair's daughters-in law". When Louis X ("the Quarrelsome") died in 1316, Agnes demanded the guardianship of her granddaughter, who had lost both her parents and was heiress to the French throne. However, several months later her uncle, Philip of Poitiers (Philip V, known as the Tall) seized power. Before giving in, Agnes tried to rally the nobility of Champagne, then actively supported the compromise which was reached: the attribution of Navarre to Jeanne, in compensation for the renouncement of her right to the French throne. Agnes even initially profited from the transformation of the county of Angoulême into a duchy-peerage for her grand-daughter's benefit, a first in the history of that institution. Agnes seems to have attached great importance to the memory of her father, Louis IX: she owned his Psalter, which she then passed down to her daughter Jeanne. She founded the chapel of Saint-Louis in the Sainte-Chapelle in Dijon and had a mass performed there every year. Agnes died on 19 December 1325, and was buried next to her husband in Cîteaux. First chroniclers and then historians, especially Paul Lehugeur in his writings on the reign of Philip V, have emphasized Agnes' intervention in favour of Jeanne of France, rather than the role she played as regent of the duchy of Burgundy.”-->

She had nine children: Jean, Hugues (future Duke of Burgundy), Eudes (his successor), Louis of Burgundy (King of Thessalonica, Prince of Achaia and Moree), Robert (count of Tonnerre), Blanche (wife of Edouard, count of Savoy), Marguerite (wife of King Louis X of France), Jeanne (wife of Philip VI of Valois) and Marie of Burgundy (married to Edouard, count of Bar). At the death of her husband in 1306, Agnes became regent of the duchy and was given control of her children. The heir, the future Hugues V, was only twelve years old. The duchess then negotiated the best possible matches for her daughters' marriages: in particular, she arranged the marriage of Marguerite to the oldest son of Philip the Fair, and in 1313 the union of Jeanne and Philip, the nephew of the King of France (the future Philip VI). During her regency, Agnes very strictly applied the royal edict concerning the assets of Jews, which she had seized and inventoried, whereas her husband Robert had refused to carry out the order. In his will, her son, Duke Hughes V, promised to return some of these possessions.
