Emperor candle snuffer produced by Royal Worcester of Worcester, England, in a 2002 limited edition of 500. The word emperor can mean the male ruler of an empire. Emperors are generally recognized to be of the highest monarchic honor and rank, surpassing kings. In Europe, the title of Emperor has been used since the Middle Ages, considered in those times equal or almost equal in dignity to that of Pope due to the latter's position as visible head of the Church and spiritual leader of the Catholic part of Western Europe.
The emperor of Japan is the only currently reigning monarch whose title is translated into English as "Emperor".
