Scope note
Typically refers to Persian rulers. The term is derived from a Persian title meaning "Great King" or "Emperor." The term is usually used to refer to the shah of Iran, but it may also refer to the Sultan of Turkey or to the Great Mogul of India. Before 1948, it was also used in India to refer to the sovereign of Great Britain. It is occasionally used in Asia to refer in a more general sense to monarchs of Europe.
