Home›Rulers, Emperors & Monarchs›Veneration Status›Officially Recognized or VeneratedBrowse ByOfficially Recognized or VeneratedThis page groups historical figures by how actively they are venerated today, from figures with a living feast day and shrine to ones remembered only in scholarship. Many traditions formalize this status through a process such as canonization, which Wikipedia defines as "the declaration of a deceased person as an officially recognized saint." Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a figure with ongoing devotion apart from one preserved only in historical record.FactsOfficially Recognized or VeneratedConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Officially Recognized or VeneratedFilter Results17 entriesGenderAllFemale (3)Male (14)TraditionAllBuddhism (3)Christianity (8)Hinduism (1)Islam (2)Judaism (1)Shinto (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (16)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)EraAll-711 to -585 (1)1050 to 1124 (1)1060 to 1100 (1)1090 to 1150 (1)1456 to 1542 (1)1470 to 1520 (1)1542 to 1587 (1)272 to 337 (1)347 to 395 (1)39 to 81 (1)482 to 565 (1)554 to 628 (1)624 to 705 (1)849 to 899 (1)958 to 1015 (1)birth_date = {{circa|AD 450}} (Wikipedia infobox, uncited) (1)Revered InAllBuddhism (2)Christianity (7)Hinduism (1)Islam (2)Judaism (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (8)Disputed (1)Executed (1)Killed in battle (1)Office HeldAllEastern Roman emperor, 527 to 565 (1)King of Wessex from 871 (1)Ottoman sultan from 1512 to 1520 (1)Prince of Kiev from 980 to 1015 (1)Roman emperor, 306 to 337, sole ruler from 324 (1)NationalityAllByzantine Empire (Historical) (1)Japan (1)Roman Empire (Historical) (4)Safavid Empire (Historical) (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 17Afonso I of KongoOfficially Recognized or VeneratedAlfred the GreatOfficially Recognized or VeneratedConstantine the GreatOfficially Recognized or VeneratedDhu NuwasOfficially Recognized or VeneratedEmperor JimmuOfficially Recognized or VeneratedEmpress SuikoOfficially Recognized or VeneratedGodfrey of BouillonOfficially Recognized or VeneratedHasan-i SabbahOfficially Recognized or VeneratedJustinian IOfficially Recognized or VeneratedMary, Queen of ScotsOfficially Recognized or VeneratedRamkhamhaengOfficially Recognized or VeneratedSelim IOfficially Recognized or VeneratedSuryavarman IIOfficially Recognized or VeneratedTheodosius IOfficially Recognized or VeneratedTitusOfficially Recognized or VeneratedVladimir the GreatOfficially Recognized or VeneratedWu ZetianOfficially Recognized or VeneratedConnectionsAssociated WithAfrica, Continents Well-attested This source names Africa directly: "khagans and dynastic founders of Africa, the Americas and Asia whose reigns intersected the traditions this atlas covers."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Americas, Continents Well-attested This source names Americas directly: "and dynastic founders of Africa, the Americas and Asia whose reigns intersected the traditions this atlas covers."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Asia, Continents Well-attested This source names Asia directly: "founders of Africa, the Americas and Asia whose reigns intersected the traditions this atlas covers."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Mesopotamians, Cultures Well-attested This source names Mesopotamians directly: "Rulers, emperors and monarchs held political sovereignty, whatever their religious significance beyond it: the Roman emperors under whom Christianity moved from persecuted sect to state church, the..."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Sources1.
