Rulers

Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

ending not on record

Ruler	Reign	Length	How it ended · source	To the ruler before
Henry VI of England	1422 – 1453	31 years	ending not on record
Charles VII of France	1453 – 1461	8 years	ending not on record

2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1422 – 1461. Only 39 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
