Where it sits in time
Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Palembang, 1903. Read from the article's section “History - Partition and Dutch annexation” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The resident of Palembang, as a result, took on the position of "Sultan" until 1903, when the sultanate was annexed into the Palembang Residency.

1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1900 – 1904. Only 4 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”.
