Montezuma was an emperor at the time of the conquest of the Aztec Empire.

"I think Cortés called the spirit 'Montecuhzoma'. That's the word in Nahuatl, the Aztec language, for Montezuma―an emperor of the Aztec empire."
―Arabella Smith to Jack Sparrow[src]

An emperor was the (male) ruler of an empire. Empress, the female equivalent, may indicate an emperor's wife, mother/grandmother, or a woman who rules in her own right and name. Emperors were generally recognized to be of the highest monarchic honour and rank, surpassing king.

History

Montecuhzoma was an emperor of the Aztec empire, most notably during the conquest by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés.[1] Mistress Ching, a Chinese pirate and the Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean, commanded a formidable fleet of her own, larger than even the Chinese Emperor's fleet.[2] Sao Feng, the Pirate Lord of Singapore and the South China Sea, enjoyed the trappings of glory and was holding court like a true emperor with candles, incense, and concubines. The Empress was Sao Feng's pride and joy.[3] At least one legend of Jack Sparrow had Madame Tang using the Dragon Spirit to make herself empress of the world.[4]
