Home›Rulers, Emperors & Monarchs›Gender›MaleBrowse ByMaleThis page groups historical religious figures by gender, letting a visitor separate, for example, the women prophets and mystics a tradition recorded from the men. Wikipedia defines gender as "the range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral aspects of being a man (or boy), woman (or girl), or portraying a third gender." Many traditions recorded far fewer women in positions of religious authority, so this grouping also shows that imbalance directly.FactsMaleConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1MaleFilter Results50 entriesTraditionAllAncient Egyptian Religion (4)Buddhism (2)Christianity (12)Hinduism (1)Islam (4)Judaism (2)Manichaeism (1)Mesopotamian Religion (2)Roman Religion (5)Shinto (2)Tengrism (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (48)Historicity debated (1)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)Revered InAllChristianity (4)Hinduism (1)Islam (1)Judaism (1)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (3)Died by suicide (1)Died of natural causes (6)Disputed (2)Killed in battle (2)Office HeldAllEastern Roman emperor, 527 to 565 (1)Hittite great king, reigning about 1321 to 1295 BC (1)Khagan of the Second Turkic Khaganate, 716 to 734 (1)Khagan of the Uyghur Khaganate, 759 to 779 (1)King of the Khmer Empire, r. c. 1113 to c. 1150 CE (1)King of the Seleucid Empire, reigned 175 to 164 BCE.
