Note
A list of rulers that includes women can still be headed emperors, because one use of the word covers any monarch of an empire and leaves empress for an emperor's consort. The plural also counts things far from any throne: fish of the family Lethrinidae, such as spangled emperors, and large prized marbles in children's games. The possessive is emperors', as in the emperors' tombs.
