Context Agree with Daniela.
Daniela Gieseler-Higgs Aug 1, 2009:
Hi Sharon, is there any more context on what the part is the house of Jiménez ruled? (It's Jiménez by the way, not Jiminez.) Are you talking about specific period/century? Are they Teilherrscher as opposed to other dynasties which ruled over ... - whatever part of the country? I think it's quite difficult to give an answer without any further context, because that particular dynasty seems to have had its fingers in so many different pies...

partial ruler

I think Ellen's explanation is correct - here's a more concise suggestion.
Example sentence:

Soon after Huascar took his position as partial ruler of the empire, he expected Atahualpa and everyone else under the Incan authority to swear him allegiance, making him superior.

co-ruler

I'd go for co-ruler, because Teil- can be used in the same sense as Mit-, but sub-ruler might work too
