Monarchs of the World

Managed By:

World Monarchs

Description:: Category of Statues (Bust or Full Body) of those people that have been Monarchs of an area of land (Country or Empire).

Expanded Description:

To be listed in this Category, the person must have an official title as defined below, or one that is comparible/equivalent on an International level.

There must be a Statue or Bust of this person at the site, a plaque is not enough.

Here is the Monarch Rankings that will be used

Emperor / Empress
King /Queen
Grand Duke or Prince / Grand Duchess or Princess
Arch Duke / Arch Duchess
Prince / Princess
Duke / Duchess
Marquess / Marchioness
Earl or Count / Countess
Viscount/ Viscountess
Baron / Baroness or Baronet / Baronetess or Knight

These levels determined from this site Royal and Noble Ranks, and this site lists the other variations used across Europe. A list of comparative versions for Middle East and the Orient will be created as well.

Now, obviously non-English lands will not have used the same titles as English lands, so the Rank and Name would use the indigenous rank (i.e. Marquis de Sade of France - not Marquess) so the equivalent would apply.
