Based on the description in the article and the Wikipedia page of the persons listed here, is it correct to call this a list of emperors of Tibet? Or would it be more appropriate to change the word emperors to something else? --

To very briefly try to answer the above questions - the kings of the Yarlung region began conquering other parts of what we now call Tibet (variable as that might be). Under
Songsten Gampo large regions were conquered and these were greatly expanded under the rulers who followed him. Even though "Tibet" shrank at times it remained far larger than most medieval kingdoms and included a range of different peoples - so I believe "Emperor" is the term of choice. Best wishes,
