By no means emperors but there were a few rulers that had history been kinder to could have lead to a Celtic dominated Britain as opposed to today's Germanic one.
Whoever the hell was in charge at the battle of Mons Badonicus: Be it Arthur, Ambrosius, Riothamus, Vortigern or whoever, they so utterly crushed the Saxons that for at lest 50 years after we see no archaeological evidence that the Saxons made even an inch of headway into Briton territory. Had the guy in charge rallied a successful counter attack you could have plausibly seen an outcome of the Britons regaining the upper hand.
Cadwallon ap Cadfan:A 7th century king of Gwynedd who successfully Overtook the entire of Northumbra before losing it all by dying in battle, had he consolidated his hold he could have forged a Cumbric kingdom in the North
The Norse-Celtic Coalition at the Battle of Brunanburh: Had they won the battle and broke the power of the nascent English badly enough then a Celtic dominated british isles could be on the cards.
