Rulers
The line of prince-abbot.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferdinand of Bavaria | 1612 – — | no end recorded | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1612 – 1612. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
