2. The sovereign or supreme ruler of an em-

to that of king: as, the emperor of Germany 
or of Russia. See empire. The title emperor, first 
assumed (with consent of the senate) by Julius Cwsar, was 
held by the succeeding rulers of the Roman, and after- 
ward of the Western and Eastern empires. The line of 
emperors of the West terminated In A. D. 476, but the title 
was revived in 800 by Charlemagne, who thus laid the 
foundation of the elective Holy Roman Empire (which see, 
under empire). The last of his successors had, before nil 
abdication in 1806, adopted the titu- of hereditary emperor 
of Austria. The king of i'nissia was crowned emperor 
of Germany in 1871. Peter the Great of Russia assumed 
the title in 17:!l. and the ruler of lirazll in 1822; and it 
was held by Napoleon I. and Napoleon III. of France. In 
1876 Queen Victoria of England was proclaimed empress

of India. In western speech the sovereign, of Turkey, 
China, Japan, etc., are called emperors.

heads of Europe take precedence according to the date of

meaning of emperor is the chief of a confederation of 
states of which Kings are members.
