Map: Principality of Serbia in 1815, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Principality of Serbia in 1815, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 41,300 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1817 – 1882. Median reign 18 years. 0 of 1 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”.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 7 causes the record names and 1 result, 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.
