Padeshah, Padshah, Padishah or Badishah ((ペルシア語:پادشاه), (トルコ語:padişah)) is a superlative royal title, composed of the Persian ''pād'' "master" and the widespread ''shāh'' "king", which was adopted by several monarchs claiming the highest rank, roughly equivalent to the ancient Persian notion of "The Great" or "Great King", and later adopted by post-Achaemenid and Christian Emperors. Its Arabized pronunciation as Badshah was used by Mughal emperors, and Bashah or Pasha was used by Ottoman Sultans. ==Historical usage== The rulers on the following thrones, the first two effectively commanding major West Asian empires, were styled Padishah: * The Shāhanshāh of Iran (King of Kings of Persia), from Achaemenid and Sassanid origin. * The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire * The emperors of the Mughal Empire, who used the Arabic version of the title, Badshah. *Miangul Golshahzada Abdul Wadud (predecessor styled ''Amir-i shariat'', successors (and ) ''Wali'') of the tiny (one valley) Pakistani North West Frontier state of Swat called himself ''badshah'' from November 1918 to March 1926.() * Ahmed Shah Durrani founded the Durrani Empire in 1747 with the title Pādshah-i Afghanistan in Persian and Badcha Da Afghanistan in the Pashto language. The Sadozai were overthrown in 1823 but there was a brief restoration by Shah Shujah in 1839. The title went dormant after his assassination in 1842 until 1926 when Amanullah Khan resurrected it (official from 1937) and was finally laid to rest with the abdication of Mohammed Zahir Shah in 1973 following a coup; at other times the Afghan monarchy used the style ''Emir (Amir al-Momenin)'' or Malik ("King").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Countries Ab-Am )〕 * The last Basha bey of Tunisia, Muhammad VIII al-Amin (proclaimed bey on 15 May 1943), adopted the sovereign style ''padshah'' 20 March 1956 – 25 July 1957. The paramount prestige of this title, in Islam and even beyond, is clearly apparent from the Ottoman Empire's dealings with the (predominantly Christian) European powers. As the Europeans and the Russians gradually drove the Turks from the Balkans, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, they insisted—even at the cost of delaying the end of hostilities—on the usage of the title "Padishah" for themselves in the Turkish versions of their treaties with the High Porte, as acknowledgement that their Christian emperors were in all diplomatic and corollary capacities the equal of the Turkish ruler, who by his religious paramount office in Islam (Caliph) had a theoretical claim of universal sovereignty (at least among Sunnites). The compound Pādshah-i-Ghazi ("Victorious Emperor") is only recorded for two individual rulers: * H.M. Ahmad Shah Bahadur, ''Padshah-i-Ghazi, Dur-i-Durran'' ('pearl of pearls'), Padshah of Khorasan (today Afghanistan) 1747–1772 * H.H. Rustam-i-Dauran, Aristu-i-Zaman, Asaf Jah IV, Muzaffar ul-Mamaluk, Nizam ul-Mulk, Nizam ud-Daula, Nawab Mir Farkhunda 'Ali Khan Bahadur (Manzil ), Sipah Salar, Fath Jang, Ayn waffadar Fidvi-i-Senliena, Iqtidar-i-Kishwarsitan Muhammad Akbar Shah Padshah-i-Ghazi, Nizam of Hyderabad 1829–1857 Note that as many titles, the word was also often used as a name, either by nobles with other (in this case always lower) styles, or even by commoners. ==Modern usage== There is a large family of Turkish origin using the surname Badi in modern-day Libya. They were originally called "Padishah" due to their Military rank in the Ottoman Army, but the part "shah" was dropped after the Ottoman landing in the North East Libyan town of Misrata, and the pronunciation of "Padi" became "Badi" due to Arabic pronunciation. In 2008, a professional cricket team, the Lahore Badshahs, was founded. In India, Padishah is often a Muslim surname, from the above-mentioned trend of adopting titles as names by both royalty and commoners. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Padishah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
