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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amara Dunqas | 1504 – 1533 | 29 years | ending not on record | |
| Badi VII | 1805 – 1821 | 16 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1504 – 1821. Median reign 22.5 years. 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”.
