| | | | | Second French Empire: Encyclopedia II - Emperor - Distinction between Emperor and other types of monarch Both kings and emperors are monarchs. There is no single rule to distinguish the one from the other: several factors, like interpretations of historians, the size and characteristics of the governed realm, and the title(s) chosen by the monarch play a part in distinguishing the one from the other. General characteristics indicating that a monarch is to be considered an emperor rather than a king include:
The monarch chose a title that usually translates as "emperor" in English, and/or is accepted as the equivalent of "emperor" i ...
