20 rulers, 19 with terms dated as terms, covering 1951 – 2010. Median reign 1 years. 0 of 22 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.87, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 3 causes the record names and 4 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
