Rulers
The line of Prince-Elector.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria | 1777 – 1799 | 22 years | died a natural deathcoded by Kokkonen & Sundell | |
| Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria | 1799 – 1806 | 7 years | left office aliveread off the dates alone |
4 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1777 – 1806. Only 29 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”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
