Ruler	Reign	Length	How it ended · source
Georgios Papadopoulos	1967 – 1972	5 years	ending not on record

3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1967 – 1973. Only 6 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 2 of 2 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”.
