As with any word, how many syllables depends on how you say it. For this word, most people would probably say it in one syllable... "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. :)
