1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1918 – 1944. Only 26 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”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of Iceland, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
