40 rulers, 40 with terms dated as terms, covering 1542 – 1790. Median reign 3 years. 0 of 45 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.75, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
