| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adam Kok III | 1862 – 1875 | 13 years | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1862 – 1875. Only 13 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
