Rulers

Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

ending not on recorda second row: a reign that began before the last had ended — rival claimants, or a shared throne

Ruler	Reign	Length	How it ended · source	To the ruler before
Childebert II	592 – 596	4 years	ending not on record
Theuderic II	595 – 613	18 years	ending not on record	child
Chlothar II	613 – 629	16 years	ending not on record

3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 592 – 629. Only 37 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 2 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”.
