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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duke Hui of Jin | 650 BCE – 637 BCE | 13 years | ending not on record | |
| Duke Huai of Jin | 637 BCE – 637 BCE | under a year | ending not on record | child |

| Duke Ling of Jin | 620 BCE – 607 BCE | 13 years | ending not on record | child |
4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 650 BCE – 607 BCE. Only 43 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 3 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”.
