RE:

I am curious to know what a Persian ruler used to be called.

King? Emporer? Shah?

I should know this, but I am drawing a blank...

The Indian rebels (ex. valiant King Shivaji) were able to revolt successfully against the Islamic rulers (Aurangzeb). Their successor, Bajirao Peshwa expanded the Hindu kingdom by conquering the territories lost to the Muslims. His successors (later Peshwas) created the Maratha empire (Hindu empire), thus halting the conversions to Islam. This is just one example, but the Rajputs of Rajasthan, king of Nepal, Hindu king of Kashmir, all resisted the attacks by the Muslims. Persians on the other hand had turned soft and complacent, relative to the barefooted, lizard eating Arabs. In addition, the Persians were unable to overthrow the Arab rule.

Usually Shah, but the ruler would also be known as the Great King

Shah

They're called SHAH, that`s why chess is called xadrez in portuguese (xadrez means game of kings)

He would have been called The Shah of Persia.
