What does the Latin "prorex" mean in reference to Louis II de Bourbon?

Accepted answer

"Proregem" apparently can be translated as "viceroy" (similarly to the Roman proconsul or legate pro Augusti). Overall I'd understand the sentence as saying that Conde was the governor of Brugundy and Aquitaine (since I do not recall a former viceregal position in France). Some googling failed to find a source about the political dispensation of Burgundy in the 17th century, so I'll stay with "governor".
