While earlier monarchs had been crowned as English Emperors, the actual Eadwaldingian Empire is usually considered to have begun with the crowning of the Saxon king Alvito I. It was not an elective position till the Imperial Diet in 1260, headed by Helina II in the 13th century, which change the succession law from Primogeniture to Princely Elective. The Edwardian dynasty control the throne till early 14th century, when the throne started to drew from random dynasties, while House of Edward still controled the throne most of the time. It was rare for the throne to pass from father to son.

The Eadwaldingian Emperors were the rulers of the Eadwaldingian Empire dating from the granting of the title of Héahcásere to Alvito Franciscoing Edward by the Eadwaldingian Diet in 1074. The title of Augustus was conferred on his successors to the imperial position. The style of government instituted by Augustus is called the Principate and continued until reforms by Helina II.

The territory under command of the emperor had developed under the period of the Electorate as it invaded and occupied most of Europe and portions of northern Africa and Caucasia. Under the Electorate, regions of the empire were ruled by viceroys answerable to and authorised by the Emperor and Witenagemot. The Witenagemot was elected by the Diet every five years, and it acted as the body of advisers to the monarchy. The emperor usually acted according to the decisions made by the Witenagemot.

In the early 15th century, after the Second Interregnum, the Imperial Diet of 1433 formalised and embellished the recent manner of imperial rule, establishing the so-called Bundes period of the Eadwaldingian Empire. This was characterised by the abolition of Privy council and explicit devotion of authority from the person of the Emperor to local administration. The threat of influence from Cina and heretic realms along the borders of the empire and the challenge they posed to defense of far-flung borders led Yves II to devolve the power to administration geographically of the Empire in 1437 with a co-Héahcásere and replace the Empire with a confederation. In 1460, Simon I established a second capital in Bavaria, which he named München. This division was consistently in place during the reign of Valdis in 1480, which historians have dated as the division between the Northern and the Southern Eadwaldingian Confederation. However, formally the Empire remained a single polity, with separate co-emperors in the separate courts. The fall of the Northern Eadwaldingian Empire, and so the end of a separate list of emperors below, is dated either from the de facto date of 1628 when Fias was deposed by the Çorpania led by Hiêm or the de jure date of 1635, on the death of Fias, when Präsidialmacht Elisabeth the Great ended recognition of a separate Northern court. In the period that followed, the Southern Confederation is succeeded by the Romeyny Empire governed by the Romeyny Emperors decleared in the Golden Bull of 1635.

The line of emperors continued until the abdication of Conn during the Fall of Nantes in 1790, when the remaining territories were liberated by the Corpania under Yuei-kiet..

Counting all individuals to have possessed the full imperial title, including those who did not technically rule in their own right (e.g. co-emperors or minors during regencies), this list contains 53 emperors and 10 ruling empresses, for a total of 63 monarchs.
