Prince Regents.
In the English language the title Prince Regent is most commonly associated with George IV, who held the style �His Royal Highness The Prince Regent� during the incapacity of his father, George III. Regent's Park and Regent Street in London are named after him.
In Germany the title Prinzregent is most commonly associated with Prince Luitpold of Bavaria who served as Regent for two of his nephews, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was declared mentally incompetent in 1886, and King Otto of Bavaria, who had been declared insane in 1875.

Scepters.
A rod or staff has long represented authority. Among the early Greeks the sceptre was a long staff used by respected elders and came to be used by judges, military leaders, priests and others in authority. It is represented on painted vases as a long staff tipped with a metal ornament. Select this link to view our Royal Prince with Scepter.
Among the Etruscans sceptres of great magnificence were used by kings and upper orders of the priesthood and many representations of such sceptres occur on the walls of the painted tombs of Etruria. The British Museum, the Vatican and the Louvre possess Etruscan sceptres of gold and elaborately ornamented. Select this link to view our Palace Guard Nutcracker.
The Roman sceptre probably derived from the Etruscan. Under the Republic an ivory sceptre was a mark of consular rank. It was also used by victorious generals who received the title of imperator. Under the empire the sceptrum Augusti was specially used by the emperors and was often of ivory, tipped with a golden eagle. Select this link to view our Slender Nutcracker with a Sword.
With the advent of Christianity the sceptre was often tipped with a cross instead of with an eagle, but during the Middle Ages the finials on the top of the sceptre varied considerably. Select this link to view our Palace Guardsman with a Battle Axe.
In England from a very early period two sceptres have been concurrently used and from the time of Richard I they have been distinguished as being tipped with a cross and a dove respectively. In France the royal sceptre was tipped with a fleur de lys and the other, known as the main de justice, had an open hand of benediction on the top.
