Regicide anyone

pbrayToday's question: Can regicide be applied to someone who murders an emperor? The dictionaries seem pretty firm on the term applying to someone who kills a king, but a few google searches turn it up in articles about assassinating an emperor.
If it only applies to kings, what is the imperial equivalent?
P.S. Why am I obsessing about this when I should be writing?
Writing: 1,015 words on Saturday. Stay tuned for today's report.
Reading: Finished DISAPPEARING NIGHTLY by Laura Resnick. Overall the book was a fun romp, with an intriguing cast of characters. My one nitpick is that the mystery element was barely there--it took far too long for heroine and her helpers to identify the obvious suspects. If you want a mystery look elsewhere. If you're looking for a screwball comedy with a hint of romance, then this is an excellent choice.
