...An emperor (from the Latin "imperator") is a (male) monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an empire or another type of imperial realm. Empress is the female equivalent. As a title, "empress" may indicate the wife of an emperor (empress consort) or a woman who rules in her own right (empress regnant). Emperors and empresses are generally recognized to be above kings and queens in honour and rank. Read full entry

I don't know what to make of the second part of your question. The first emperor of China gained power by conquest. He was born into the royal family of Qin. Through many intrigues including the execution of his mother, he consolidated his power over the kingdom. He also had talented generals and ministers and promoted a meritocracy. Those who performed well were awarded fiefs encompassing thousands of serfs. He ruled using Legalism, which is a rigid set of rules and punishments. He would punish entire clans for the misdeeds or failures of individuals. Lastly, the state of Qin was in a semi-protected haven. In order to gain access to the country, invading armies would have to gain passage through several mountain passes. Qin heavily fortified those passes and were largely immune from the devastation that was occurring in the rest of China. The other warring states were laying waste to each other's territory. Qin bided its time and sallied forth when it was advantageous. And retreated behind its impenetrable mountain defenses when it was weak. |

What castle did the Sengoku I found out that the emperor
of Japan did not always live
in Edo Castle. Before this he
lived apparently lived in
Kyoto. I need to know where in
Kyoto that the emperor lived.
Specifically, the Sengoku
period emperors. More
specifically, Emperor
Go-Tsuchimikado. Of course if
all three answers are the same
only one answer is necesary,
if they're different, then
please tell me the most
specific location you find. A
resource would also be nice so
I may double check.

The technical answer is that Japanese castles were war forts, and emperors were never warlords, so they never lived in castles before Meiji. The straight answer (Kyoto Gosho or Kyoto Imperial Palace) you'll get may still not be straight enough, because that's not really a proper noun. The pre-modern emperor's private residence was called Gosho, Dairi, or Kinri. The Gosho in Kyoto did relocate several times in history, but it would always just be the Gosho, although people back then may have called it by some other name. The imperial palace was always in Kyoto since its founding in 794 to the Meiji Restoration in 1868, so that includes your Go-Tsuchimikado. A good starting place for information on the imperial palace in Kyoto is none other than the Japanese Imperial Household Agency's website. It doesn't have the most amount of information, but it's definitely official. http://sankan.kunaicho.go.jp/e nglish/guide/kyoto.html |

What is a good website for I'm trying to get some very
basic information on Emperor
Constantine for a paper over a
literary character named
Constantine (but who has no
surface relationship to the
emperor).
All the websites I have found
seem to either be too in-depth
(written for people who have
studied him extensively), too
sparse (as in only timelines),
or religiously biased.
Please don't suggest
Wikipedia, but I am open to
all other suggestions! Thanks!

Have you tried history.com? The history channel website. They have specials about Constantine on all the time. He was the first Roman Emperor to adopt Christianity as the new Religion of the Romans. His mother found the site that we know today as the site where Christ was crucified and the tomb he was laid to rest, and later found empty by Mary Magdeline and probably his mother Mary... That is a good Emperor if you have to write about one! here are few sites I found...with reference notes |
