), usually the mother of the monarch, male or female, for although they exercised political power during the period of regency on behalf of their child or children, they were not hereditary monarch, and thus cannot be included in the list of female hereditary monarchs.

Cases where succession was obtained by other means (usurpation or marriage, for example) are also indicated accordingly.
