 Co-regency - Definition 

In Ancient Egypt, co-regency was the practice of Pharaoh appointing a successor (often one of his sons) as co-regent, or joint king, to ensure a smooth succession. 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.
