Life

Andronikos V Palaiologos was the only known son of Emperor John VII Palaiologos and Eugenia (renamed Irene), daughter of Francesco Gattilusio. At the time of his birth John VII was Regent of the Byzantine Empire for his uncle Manuel II Palaiologos. At an unknown date, probably after his father settled in Thessalonica, Andronikos V was proclaimed nominal co-emperor, probably by 1403/1404. He predeceased his father, dying probably in 1407. // High public office A regent, from the Latin regens who reigns is anyone who acts as head of state, especially if not the monarch (who has higher titles). ...

It should be noted that the imperial status of both John VII and Andronikos V was purely honorary and they were not fully-fledged co-emperors (although John VII had reigned as emperor in 1390 and as regent in Constantinople in 1399–1403).
