Heptarchs

/ˈhɛptɑːrks/ noun

Definition

Plural of heptarch; seven rulers or governors who jointly rule a region or state divided into seven parts.

Etymology

From Greek 'heptarchos'—'hepta' (seven) + 'archos' (ruler), so literally 'seven rulers.'

Kelly Says

Imagine a government by committee with exactly seven people—the word heptarchs names these co-rulers who (spoiler alert) usually end up fighting over power.
