Titles of the Themiclesian monarch

Jump to navigation Jump to search

There are several titles of the Themiclesian monarch (號). Some of these titles may be combined, but others are specific to given functions and not properly used with others. The titles of the Monarchy of Themiclesia are not regulated by written law but governed by traditional usage.

Emperor

The title Emperor (皇帝, hwang-tai) was introduced to Themiclesia by Emperor Wŏn of Chŏllo, who fled to Themiclesia when ousted by Jin nomads in the 6th century. There, as a pretender in exile from Meng, he was enthroned as a figurehead by a group of courtiers who disliked the existing ruler.

Elder Prince

Elder Prince (大兄伯 or 大兄王, lats-qmrangh-brak or lats-qmrangh-ghwang) is the customary title conferred to the pre-eminent prince by the princely assembly of medieval Themiclesia.
