"reigned" with no break. If you are trying to fit it into iambic pentameter or are trying to do a fake medieval accent, you might say it "reign-ed" and then it would be two syllables. In general though, I would go with one. Seems less pretentious. :)

In Iambic Pentameter, you always have one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. A metric foot in literature is considered the grouping of these syllables. In iambic after every set of unstressed and stressed syllables you have a foot which is where you place the division. Since it is Pentameter, there will be five feet per line. I hope this is helpful to you.
An iambic foot is consisted of two syllables -- I'm not quite sure what beats are, but they should be the same as syllables. Each iambic foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, on which you naturally place more emphasis. An example of a line composed of a couple of iambic feet would be: (Here the stressed syllables are in CAPS) i HAVE to GRILL the STEAK toDAY. So, in short, the answer is TWO.
Iambic pentameterIt is one of many meters used in poetry and drama. It describes a particular rhythm that the words establish in each line. That rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables; these small groups of syllables are called "feet". The word "iambic" describes the type of foot that is used. The word "pentameter" indicates that a line has five of these "feet". When a pair of syllables is arranged as a short followed by a long, or an unstressed followed by a stressed, pattern, that foot is said to be "iambic".
No, an iambic foot is made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. It is a common metrical pattern in poetry.
An iambic foot is formed by two syllables, with the first one being unstressed and the second one stressed. This pattern creates a rhythmic sound, common in English poetry.

There are 10 syllables in an iambic pentameter because iambic means the 1st syllable is not stressed but the 2nd one is stressed; kinda of like a heart beat (da-DUM da-DUM). pentameter comes from pentagon which is 5 so there would be 5 unstressed syllables and 5 stressed syllables (da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM).
Iambic meters are particularly effective in the English language. Iambic pentameter is used in many English poetry forms. The iambic measure (foot) has a syllable that is not stressed followed by one that is. Five iambic feet is the typical measure in a line of poetry.
Feet, in poetry, are the patterns of stress in the syllables used. For example, a foot can be:- an iamb, which is a short syllable followed by a long one (de-dum), or a trochee, which is a long syllable followed by a short one (dum-de), or an amphibrach, which is a long syllable between two short ones ((de-dum-de), or a number of other combinations that each have their own names.
Iambic pentameter is a metrical pattern in poetry consisting of five iambs per line. An iamb is a metrical foot comprising one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. Many Shakespearean sonnets and plays are written in iambic pentameter.
