The most notable Macedonian king and one of the most celebrated kings and military strategists of all time. By the end of his reign, Alexander was simultaneously King of Macedonia, Pharaoh of Egypt and King of Persia, and had conquered the entire former Achaemenid Empire as well as parts of the western Indus Valley.

A dying Alexander the Great gave his ring to Perdiccas, who after his death, was appointed "Regent of the Empire" at the Partition of Babylon. Was Murdered by his officers after an ill-fated campaign against Ptolemy, Satrap of Egypt.
Overthrew Polyperchon and his ally Olympias, to become Regent. After having Alexander IV and his mother Roxana executed in 309 BC, he reigned as Regent without a King until 305 BC, when he declared himself King in 305 BC.
Ruled jointly, but soon entered a power struggle with each other, involving Pyrrhus of Epirus and the Antigonid, Demetrius I. Both were assassinated, Alexander by Demetrius, and Antipater by Lysimachus after he fled to Thrace.
Lysimachus of Thrace and Pyrrhus of Epirus, backed by Ptolemy I of Egypt, invaded Macedonia and expelled Demetrius. Pyrrhus briefly reigned as sole King of Macedon for seven months, before becoming co-king with Lysimachus, an arrangement which lasted until 285 BC, when Lysimachus expelled Pyrrhus, becoming sole Macedonian king himself.

While Demetrius II's young son Philip V was originally meant to rule after him, with Antigonus III as a regent, after defeating the Dardani and putting down a Thessalian rebellion, his soldiers declared him King, which he reluctantly accepted, but kept the young Philip V as his heir and acted as a sort of father-figure and mentor to him. Became sick and died during a battle with the Illyrians.
After Perseus's defeat at the Battle of Pydna in 167 BC, Macedon was divided into four republics under Roman domination. In 150 BC, a man named Andriscus claimed to be the son of Perseus, and claimed the throne of Macedon as Philip VI. This led to the Fourth Macedonian War, in which Andriscus was defeated by the Romans, and Macedon was annexed as a Roman province in 148 BC.
Commoner from Aeolis who had a strong resemblance to the deposed King Perseus, and claimed to be his son. He captured Rome's Macedonian client-republics with the backing of Thracian soldiers, and re-established the Macedonian Kingdom. Lost the Fourth Macedonian War to the Roman Republic, and was executed, Macedonia becoming a Roman province.
^ abAs part of the compromise in Babylon after Alexander the Great’s death, it was agreed that Philip would be joint king with Roxanne’s unborn child, should it prove to be male. Hence Philip was sole king for several months until Alexander IV was born, and Alexander too was sole king from Philip’s murder in 317 BC to his own death. Neither had any effective power during this period; Philip was mentally infirm and Alexander was under age.
^Demetrius was proclaimed King in 306 BC with his father, but his reign in Macedonia only became effective after he ousted the Antipatrids in 294, and his power there ended after he was in turn expelled by Pyrrhus and Lysimachus in 286. His death in 283 is often given as marking the end of his reign.
^Antigonus claimed the kingship upon his father's death in 283, but it was only effective after 276.
