Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miloš Obrenović | 1817 – 1839 | 22 years | abdicated, the article saysread from the ruler's own article | |

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”.
