The monarch of Emerstari is the head of state, government, church in Emerstari. The first King of Emerstari (Emerstarian: Kuing Emerige), or as it was earlier styled King of the Emerstarians (Emerstarian: Kuing dem Emersker) was Erik the Victorious who united the nine Emerstarian petty kingdoms in the mid-eleventh century. Later chroniclers, particularly during the first Eirikrian Restoration, authored histories of the Emerstarian monarchy based on Emerstarian folklore tracing Erik the Victorious's ancestry to Adam and Eve through Rodouf, a great-grandson of Noah through Japheth and Magog, who led the first migration to Emerstari.

List of monarchs of Emerstari

House of Eirikr (1047-1122)

The reign of Erik the Victorious begins the rule of House of Eirikr, which had been referred to earlier as the House of Kveldur after a semi-legendary ancestor of Erik; the House of Eirikr, by its own right and through its cadet branches, would continue and still continues to dominant Emerstarian politics. Erik I died in 1078, and his two eldest sons Jakob I and Olaf I agreed to rule as diarchs as before his death, Erik had requested his friend, the Bishop of Uppsalle Bjivorr Eylirsson, to excommunicate his sons if they commit kinslaying or split the Kingdom via civil war. Jakob's eldest son, Jakob II took vows of chastity (possibly to hide the fact he was infertile). Therefore when he died, the kingship was again a monarchy through Olaf's line, but Olaf's son, Karl I died in 1122 with only an infant son, so the nobility used an Emerstarian form of tanistry known as slektentilsogening to select a new king.

House of Sigfredsson (1122-1235)

Harald I succeeded to the to throne as the maternal grandson of Jakob I. His father, Sigfred the Hound, for whom the House of Sigfredsson is named, had been a trusted commander of the Eirikrian kings, and his grandfather had been one of the earliest supporters of Erik the Victorious. Harald, an avid bear-hunter (for that, he earned his epiteth), severely injured himself in a hunting incident in 1134, and he abdicated for his son Erik II. Erik II's great-grandson, Karl II had only a daughter, so the throne passed to the third son of Karl's sister, Isabel Håkonsdottir who had married Peter von Wassen, Count of Wassen.

House of Wassen (1235-1250)

With the death of Karl II, the throne passed through his sister's grandson, the third son of Peter von Wassen, Count of Wassen, Wilhelm von Wassen who ruled as Villem I. The rule of the House of Wassen, though relatively short, opened Emerstari open to the rest of Scania through marriages with Rhenish and Polsnian families. Villem's son, Olaf II died without issue, and the nobility gathered in council selected Gustaf, Earl of Malmø, a member of the House of Malmø, a cadet branch of the House of Eirikr to be King.

House of Malmø (1250-1270)

Gustaf, Earl of Malmø ascended to the throne in 1242 via election. He was the first Emerstarian king to adopt a regnal name to rule with beside his own; this was mainly to show reverence to Erik I as the House of Malmø was a cadet branch of the House of Eirikr through a bastard great-grandson of Karl I. Gustaf I died in 1261, and his son and successor Erik IV Jakob died in 1270 with only daughters. His brother was seen as too weak to be King, so his nephew, seen as too young at the moment, made a gentlemen's agreement with the nobility at the Council at Ragnvaldsholm that they would elect his maternal uncle, Canute Heinrich von Wesse, Count Palatine of Wesse King, then upon his death, they would elect him.

Canute Heinrich von Wesse, Count Palatine of Wesse ascended to the throne in 1270 as a result of the gentlemen's agreement between his nephew and the nobility of Emerstari, ruling as Knudt I Henrik. Against it, though, he began to consolidate power in an attempt to secure the throne for his son; ultimately, when he died in 1303, his son Lokke Knudtsson had surrendered his claim to the Emerstarian throne to Knudt's brother, so he could rule as the Elector of Heischten in Rhenland. Folke I Villem, Knudt's brother, died in 1312 without issue.

House of Malmø First Restoration (1312-1370) and House of Eek (1338-1350)

Upon the death of his other maternal uncle Folke I Villem, Ervin Klasson, Duke of Malmø, supported by the King of Coelans, called upon the nobility which he had convened with and their descendants to execute the agreement they had made with him fifty-two years prior in 1270 with threat of war. Thereafter, he was crowned at the advanced age of 68, and he ruled for nearly fourteen years. His long life was attributed to divine right, that, for his right to rule had been denied for so long, God blessed him with the longest life of any Emerstarian king to that point. Ervin I Knudt's son Olaf III Kristoffer succeeded him in 1338, ruling with his mother, Elsa I Annikke as co-monarchs for twelve years until her death in 1350. The term diarch is not used here by historians as Elsa was more of a sovereign adviser to Olaf than a sovereign ruler with him. Regardless, she is the first woman to be a Queen-regnant of Emerstari. In 1358, Olaf sent his daughter, Johanna Olafsdattir, to Marseile to wed the son of Charles VII of Marseile, the heir apparant, but en route she died due to the outbreak of the Coughing Plague, the Great Mortality. Upon, Olaf's death in 1370, Charles declared war, proclaiming himself as the King of the Emerstarians by right of his son's "sabotaged" marriage to Johanna.

After the Olafsson War, the elder son of Olaf III Kristoffer handed the throne over to his son who would rule as Sigismund I Kristoffer. Sigismund died in 1401, leaving the throne to his only son, Erik Sigismundssen. However, Erik was serving as a mercenary in Polsnia at the time, so his mother crowned herself Queen-regnant of Emerstari, becoming the first woman to rule as the sole monarch of Emerstari.

House of Sverrer (1390-1421)

The reign of Erika I Henriette was met with general discontentment from much of the nobility mainly due to the fact that she was a woman, so her brother, Harald Karlsson, Duke of Marland, convinced the nobility in council to crown him King alongside Erika, at least until Erik returns. Erik returned in 1404, however, by this time, the cadet branch of the House of Eirikr, the House of Malmø had lost favor amongst the nobility for his mother and uncle's cadet branch of the House of Eirikr, House of Sverrer, descended through a younger son of Jakob I, Donner Kuingsson, Earl of Marland.

House of Aldburg (1421-1438)

While Erik Sigismundssen was never made King, his daughter married Wilhelm Ernst von Aldburg, Prince-Elector of Aldburg, and as Harald II Håkon only had a daughter, who married into the Leijonhuvudian Dukes of Whentii, the nobility in council reckoned a Rhenish elector a better choice. The reign of Wihelm Ernst, who ruled as Villem II Karl, was marked by his promiscuity; he had two wives bearing him eight children, and numerous mistresses bearing him an unknown amount of illegitimate children. He died in 1430 and was succeeded by his son, Kristien I Ulrik, who is suspected in modern-day to have been emotionally underdeveloped due to his upbringing. His reign was marked by instability and intrigue. Kristien I Ulrik died as a result of an isolated outbreak of the Coughing Plague, but his son was only twelve at the time, so Emerstari fell into a succession war.

House of Eirikr First Restoration (1444-1570)

The House of Eirikr reemerged in the aftermath of the War of the Emerstarian Succession with Georg I Erik, a direct descendant of Erik the Victorious as the first King of this restoration. During his reign, he reformed the Emerstarian government and military, adopted Lutheranism and created the Church of Emerstari, and sent explorers to find Paradise, the North Pole, Template:Prester John, and riches in general, leading way for the Emerstarian Empire; all of this earned several epithets such as "the Great", "the Preacher-King", and "the Reformer". Because of all of this accomplishments, the reigns of his immediate descendants are not as distinguished in history, but this restoration of the Eirikrs saw another Queen-regnant, albeit her husband was crowned as King-regent as well.

After the death of Katarina I Solveig, the throne passed to the her passed brother's son, Ervin Per, Earl of Undersalle, who came to identify more with his mother's House of Leijonhuvud then his father's House of Eirikr–Wolnbach, thus creating the House of Eirikr–Wolnbach–Leijonhuvud. In the same year that Katarina died, so did the Soumeland, and Ervin was elected the King of Soumeland as well as King of Emerstari; the two crowns remained unified 1904. Ervin II Gustaf's great-grandson, perhaps the most famous member of the House of Leijonhuvud as a whole, Karl IV Lorens died in battle in 1704, and the throne passed to his maternal nephew of the House of Leijonhuvud–Pfach.

House of Eirikr Second Restoration (1718-present)

Upon the extinction of the male line of the House of Leijonhuvud–Pfach, the nobility of Emerstari in council selectde one amongst them to be King, the Duke of Flodland of the House of Eirikr, Erik Lorens Eirikr. He ruled as the eighth Erik despite being only the seventh in honor of his grandfather who he had been very close to. His reign was marked by diplomacy over war, mainly through the marriages of his eighteen children into the other Scanian monarchies; he, moreover, commissioned the creation of a new Emerstarian constitution, albeit the constitution was ratified under the reign of his son. Under this restoration of the House of Eirikr, the Emerstarian Empire reached both its height and its decline.

King-regents of Emerstari

Although the Emerstarian throne may be inherited by women, traditionally and even today constitutionally, their husbands must be crowned alongside them to provide a patriarch and father to the Emerstarian people as King-regents, a position that is in theory lesser the Queen-regnent but is in practice, just as if not more powerful. This power dynamic combine with the want to preserve their dynasty and bloodlines drove the Eirikr family to arrange Elsa III Marie's marriage to her third cousin twice removed, Hasse Johann Folkberg–Eirikr, Earl of Folkberg.
