7 rulers, 7 with terms dated as terms, covering 1991 – 2024. Only 33 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 8 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”.
