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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Braulio Carrillo Colina | 1838 – 1842 | 4 years | ending not on record | |
| Francisco Morazán | 1842 – 1842 | under a year | ending not on record | |
| António Pinto Soares | 1842 – 1842 | under a year | ending not on record | |
| José María Alfaro Zamora | 1842 – 1844 | 2 years | ending not on record |
4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 1838 – 1844. Only 6 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 3 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 1.00, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
