The '''monarchs of Tengaria''' ruled the country during two long periods of its history: from the establishment of the [[Grand Principality of Tengaria]] around the year 1000 to the fall of its sovereign [[Empire of Arciluco]] in 1385, after which the Grand Principality was elevated to [[Empire of Tengaria]] in 1385 to the annexation of Tengaria by the Amathians in 1930 and subsequently the proclomation of the [[Tengaria|Republic of Tengaria]] in 1935. The monarchy was never formally abrogated but is considered ''de facto'' defunct.

The monarchy was never formally abrogated but is considered ''de facto'' defunct.


The Grand Princes used the Velik Knyaz (grand prince) for the period during Tengaria's Grand Principality. The Grand Princes of Tengaria styled themselves as ''"In Christ the Lord Faithful Grand Prince of the Tengarian peoples and Servant of the Emperor"''. The Grand Princes were nominally sworn to the Emperors of Arciluco, although for all intents and purposes they exercised control over the Tengarian territories. Succession was agnatic and hereditary, but very often the throne was siezed by right of conquest, and familial strife was also common. Several Grand Princes were blinded or castrated by rivals. Tengaria began to expand over time and to centralize, leading to the last of the Grand Princes leading a more centralized state than before.

After the fall of the Empire of Arciluco into the [[Realm of Thorns]] during the Iconoclast Crisis, [[St. Vasil I, Emperor of Tengaria|St. Vasil the Great]] declared Tengaria for the iconodule faction. the exiled Ecumenical Patriarch Alexander III proclaimed Vasil ''Vladetel'' (Emperor), transferring the ''Imperium'' to Tengaria. This was the official title of the monarchs of Tengaria until the fall of the Empire in 1930 and rise of the Republic in 1935. This title is not universally accepted. Due to Tengaria's smaller size and lack of geopolitical clout, many East Euclean countries translated the title ''Vladetel'' as 'king', either out of indifference, ignorance or as an insult. However, since the foundation of the Empire, the word has been translated as "emperor" in Tengaria. The Emperors of Tengaria styled themselves as ''"In Christ the Lord Faithful Emperor and Autocrat of all Tengarians"'' or similar variations. Some earlier variations replaced ''Tengarians'' with ''Solarians'', but the style eventually fell out of use.

''Vladetel'' was the name the Tengarians had used for the of Ariculo for centuries, stemming from the wrod which meant 'ruler' or master.

The title of Emperor was hereditary, and passed down through {{wp|Primogeniture#Agnatic_primogeniture|Agnatic Primogeniture}} succession. This means that all Emperors have been descendants of the [[House of Prostov]], also called the the House of Tengaria (in particular descendants of [[St. Vasil I, Emperor of Tengaria|St. Vasil the Great]]), but two other cadet branches have ruled since then. The main line went extinct in 1604, and the first cadet branch, the [[House of Moshtnov]], went extinct in 1769. The later Emperors and the current claimants are from the cadet branch of the [[House of Istrov]]. There have been no female Emperors.
The Emperors were styled as ''"In Sotiras the God and through the Grace of the Holy Trinity, Faithful Emperor of the Solarians and the Tengarians and all Orthodox Sotirians"'', combining the style of the Amathian Emperors with reference to Tengaria but also to their {{wp|Orthodoxy}} in regard to the Iconoclast crisis and their {{wp|universal monarchy|universal authority}}. As the years progressed, the Solarian part of the title was often only used on official occasions; while never dropped from the title, it was rarely used, especially by foreign powers, who refused to recognize their connection with Solaria, and later criticized by foreign scholars as being a misnomer, as the Tengarians had never been part of the [[Solarian Empire]]. Imperial apologists defended it, however, saying that the ''Imperiya'' had rightfully been translated from Solaria to Arciluco to Tengaria because of divine providence and their faithfulness through means of the Ecumenical Patriarch, just as the kingly right of Saul was given to David.  


After the fall of Tengaria in the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], [[Soravia]] insisted that the liberated Tengaria would become a Republic, leading to the creation of the Republic of Tengaria in 1935. Since then, there have been three claimants to the defunct throne. When Simeon Kovachev took power after the [[Tengarian Civil War]], he was unable to restore the Monarchy, but invited the exiled [[Dragomir III]] back to Tengaria and restored the property of the Imperial Family to him. The claimants have lived in Tengaria ever since. The current claimant to the throne, [[Vasil VI, Emperor of Tengaria|Vasil VI]], is an active member in Tengarian society and is even a member of the [[Senate of Tengaria]].

The Monarchs of Tengaria ruled the country during two long periods of its history: from the establishment of the Grand Principality of Tengaria around the year 1000 to the fall of its sovereign Empire of Arciluco in 1385, after which the Grand Principality was elevated to Empire of Tengaria in 1385 to the annexation of Tengaria by the Amathians in 1930 and subsequently the proclamation of the Republic of Tengaria in 1935. The monarchy was never formally abrogated but is considered de facto defunct.

The Grand Princes used the Velik Knyaz (grand prince) for the period during Tengaria's Grand Principality. The Grand Princes of Tengaria styled themselves as "In Christ the Lord Faithful Grand Prince of the Tengarian peoples and Servant of the Emperor". The Grand Princes were nominally sworn to the Emperors of Arciluco, although for all intents and purposes they exercised control over the Tengarian territories. Succession was agnatic and hereditary, but very often the throne was siezed by right of conquest, and familial strife was also common. Several Grand Princes were blinded or castrated by rivals. Tengaria began to expand over time and to centralize, leading to the last of the Grand Princes leading a more centralized state than before.

After the fall of the Empire of Arciluco into the Realm of Thorns during the Iconoclast Crisis, St. Vasil the Great declared Tengaria for the iconodule faction. the exiled Ecumenical Patriarch Alexander III proclaimed Vasil Vladetel (Emperor), transferring the Imperiya (Empire, Sovereignty) to Tengaria. Vladetel was the name the Tengarians had used for the of Ariculo for centuries, stemming from the wrod which meant 'ruler' or master. This was the official title of the monarchs of Tengaria until the fall of the Empire in 1930 and rise of the Republic in 1935. This translation of the title is not universally accepted. Due to Tengaria's smaller size and lack of geopolitical clout, many East Euclean countries translated the title Vladetel as 'king', either out of indifference, ignorance or as an insult. However, since the foundation of the Empire, the word has been translated as "emperor" in Tengaria, as a matter of both pride and belief.

The Emperors were styled as "In Sotiras the God and through the Grace of the Holy Trinity, Faithful Emperor of the Solarians and the Tengarians and all Orthodox Sotirians", combining the style of the Amathian Emperors with reference to Tengaria but also to their Orthodoxy in regard to the Iconoclast crisis and their universal authority.

The title of Emperor was hereditary, and passed down through Agnatic Primogeniture succession. This means that all Emperors have been descendants of the House of Prostov, in particular descendants of St. Vasil the Great, but two other cadet branches have ruled since then. The main line went extinct in 1604, and the first cadet branch, the House of Moshtnov, went extinct in 1769.

The claimants have lived in Tengaria ever since. The current claimant to the throne, Vasil VI, is an active member in Tengarian society and is even a member of the Senate of Tengaria.

This list does not include the mythical Tengar rulers or tribal rulers before the conquest of Tengaria by the Empire of Arciluco in the sixth century, or unsuccessful claimants to the throne who are not generally listed among the Tegarian monarchs.
