Empire: a group of countries that are controlled by one ruler/ government. King: the (male) ruler of an independent state/country that has a royal family. Kingdom: a country ruled by a king (or queen). ... Empire is a group of countries (under one ruler)
Emperors are generally recognized to be of a higher honor and rank than kings. ... Both emperors and kings are monarchs, but the emperor and empress are considered the higher monarchical titles
Explanation:
AN EMPIRE is a collection of distinct domains under one controlling/owning power — be it an individual, a family, a city, a nation, or even a corporation. Though it derives from the Latin word imperium (jurisdiction, domain, realm, command ==> the extent of one’s authority/command, be it territorial, personal, or subject matter), it serves as the equivalent word in other languages for “super-kingdom”, i.e., many kingdoms under one king — a king of kings/great king/high king — typically called an emperor.
However, by that definition, Queen Elizabeth II of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu, would be the only actual empress on the face of the planet … but she doesn’t claim the title, while the mono-ethnic and unitary monarchy of Japan still does.
A DYNASTY is a succession of rulers/leaders/owners of the same family, typically any male-line descendant of the dynastic founder, though in some countries — like France — they reckoned a new dynasty when it passed to a shirt-tail cadet branch- like Bourbon or Orleans. Also, Rome considered adoption as good or even better than blood descent: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus, and Aurelius were all adopted by their predecessor.
In England, there’s some dispute as to whether the Lancastrians and the Yorkists should be deemed as one with the Angevin dynasty (the House of Anjou) as they were alike direct male-line descendants of Henry II, and not that far removed from the prime branch that went extinct with Richard II. Henry IV (Lancaster) was a 1st cousin of Richard II, and eldest son of the 3rd son of Edward III. Edward IV (York) was a direct male-line descendant Edward III’s 4th son but his claim to the throne came through descent from Edward III’s 2nd son, by way of a daughter and great-granddaughter. Edward IV’s father, Richard-Duke of York, was Edward III’s great-grandson on his father's side, but great-great-grandson on his mother's side (His mother was his own 2nd-cousin-once-removed). But who cares, really — the whole Yorkist (sub-)dynasty only lasted 24 years.
Soon, the death of Elizabeth II will throw a wrench into the works. If it weren’t for jingoistic political nonsense by Parliament, and personal grudges of Churchill and the last two Queen-Consorts, Elizabeth would be the last member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gothe. Parliament thought that name embarrassingly Teutonic during World War I and so officially declared that the current dynasty would henceforth be styled “the House of Windsor”. At the time though, it was never supposed to carry on to all future dynasties. Prince Charles, is the male-line descendant of the equally Teutonic House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (or just Glücksburg for short), a cadet branch of the House of Oldenburg. But Prince Philip renounced the name and house in 1947, adopting the surname of his mother’s family, Mountbatten, itself anglicized from the Teutonic Battenberg during World War I. Under the normal rules of succession, the future kings Charles III and William III should thus be of the House of Mountbatten. However, Churchill and Queen Mary of Tech (Elizabeth’s grandmother) — neither of whom could abide Philip’s illustrious uncle or the Mountbattens in general — saw to it that Windsor would continue to be the (legal) dynastic name of whatever dynasty actually happened to hold the throne at the time. And that makes the term “dynasty” meaningless, at least in British law.
Confusing matters more, the terms empire and dynasty are often used interchangeably when talking about Chinese history. This is because the territorial extent of the empire of each dynasty was very different from and independent of the other dynasties. Thus the Qing Empire/Dynasty is not only a different dynasty from the Ming Empire/Dynasty, but it’s also a different empire. This isn’t the case elsewhere. For example, Spain’s boundaries haven’t changed significantly in over 500 years, but it’s gone through nine dynasties in that time-frame
