Around here, which happens to be one of those areas held for the  
Crown by a real, live Viceroy, that officer is known as a vicar.

Our Viceroy (and his consort/co-titular-head-person, known here as  
our Vicereine, which I gather is a made-up term) is the functional  
equivalent of a landed Baron, and is regarded as the senior Baronial  
couple in the Kingdom by Precedence. Both already hold Court  
Baronies, and are peers, so I'm not sure what, if anything, will  
change about their alphabet soup when they step down in September.  
I'm guessing they'll continue to be Baron Ian and Baroness Katherine;  
the standard custom in the East is to award Court Baronies to Barons  
as they step down, and they've already got them. I suspect the only  
thing left for them would be an augmentation of arms, if the Crown  
felt so inclined (and boy, would it tick a sector of the populace off  
if they did).

It's probably something sufficiently rare that no strong precedent  
exists.
