The first and last 60 of 180 reigns; the 60 between them are in the atlas.
172 rulers, 172 with terms dated as terms, covering 1339 – 1797. Median reign 2 years. 7 of 179 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”.
