But some of the old subtitles used "Justiciar", and I have no clue about that.

According to wikipedia, "In Medieval England and Scotland the Chief Justiciar (later known simply as the Justiciar) was roughly equivalent to a modern Prime Minister[1] as the monarch's chief minister."

It's not a term I've heard before, but it probably fits his role a bit better than "Regent" -- "A regent (from the Latin regens:[1] ruling, governing[2][3]) is a person appointed to govern a state pro tempore (Latin: ’for the time being’) because the regnant monarch is a minor, is absent, or is incapacitated."
