How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Napoleon's French Empire in 1806, 1806. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The republic was conquered by Napoleon's French Empire in 1806 and formally annexed by the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy in 1808.

Rulers
The line of Rector - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damjan Beneša | 1532 – — | no end recorded | ending not on record | |
| Nikola Vitov Gučetić | 1568 – — | no end recorded | ending not on record | |
| Ivan Bunić Vučić | 1658 – — | no end recorded | ending not on record | |
| Giunio Resti | 1730 – — | no end recorded | ending not on record |
4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 1532 – 1730. Only 198 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 3 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: 0 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.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
