Definitions

en
A vicar is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior. The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire, a local representative of the emperor, such as an archduke, could be styled "vicar".
