regencies
Substitute sovereign periods
Regencies is the plural of regency, which refers to a period or system of government by a regent—someone ruling on behalf of a monarch who is absent, incapacitated, or too young.
The regencies of Europe produced distinctive architectural styles.
Capitalized, the Regency typically means the period 1811–1820 when George, Prince of Wales, ruled Britain for his mentally ill father.
