A '''vicereine''' is any woman holding that office, or the wife of a male viceroy.
The actual title of ''viceroy'' dates back to 14th-century [[Spain]] and the [[Spanish Empire]] in [[Latin America]]. At least two officers of the [[Commonwealth of Nations]] were viceroys. But the office itself, with all its prerogatives, was frequently held in ancient times. Some of the most powerful kings of [[Israel]] and elsewhere in the [[Middle East]] once served as viceroys. [[Joseph]] was a viceroy in all but name in ancient [[Egypt]] for eighty years.
