Which single word means ‘a ruler who has absolute, unrestrained power’?

Explanation

An ‘autocrat’ is a ruler who holds absolute power, unrestrained by laws, a constitution, or any other check on their authority. This differs from an ‘aristocrat,’ a member of the nobility or upper class, and a ‘bureaucrat,’ an official who works within a government administrative system, both of which describe a role rather than the specific possession of unlimited power.
