Where it sits in time
Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
Rulers
The line of margrave.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach | 1757 – 1791 | 34 years | left office aliveread off the dates alone |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1757 – 1791. Only 34 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”.
Flags and arms, in order
Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.
