Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sancho V Sánchez of Gascony | 950 – 950 | under a year | ending not on record | |
| William II Sánchez of Gascony | 961 – 961 | under a year | ending not on record | sibling |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 950 – 961. Only 11 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”.
Ground held, by year
