A Co-regency is the situation where a monarchical position (such as King, Queen, Emperor or Empress), normally held by only a single person, is held by two.


Historical examples of this include the co-regency of Frederick I of Austria and Louis the Bavarian over the Holy Roman Empire, and the co-regency of William and Mary over England, Scotland, and Ireland. It was also found in the ancient Roman Empire.

A similar situation still exists today in Andorra, which has two Princes (the Bishop of Urgel and the President of France), but since they only hold the rank of Prince, not King, it is referred to as a co-principality rather than a co-regency. The term prince (the female form is princess), from the Latin root princeps, when used for a member of the highest aristocracy, has several fundamentally different meanings - one generic, and several types of titles. ...


In Ancient Egypt, mainly in the Middle Kingdom, the Pharaoh occasionally appointed his successor (often one of his sons) as co-regent, or joint king, to ensure a smooth succession. The Pharaoh also did this when he was elderly or unable to rule his country on his own (such as the case of Thutmose III and Amenhotep II or Amenemhat II and Senusret II). The existence of the practice makes establishing firm dates in Egyptian chronology more of a challenge, as the lengths of co-regencies are often uncertain and complicate the use of accepted regnal lengths to establish dates.
