Rulers
The line of King of Romania - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carol I of Romania | 1881 – 1914 | 33 years | died in office, manner not recordedread off the dates alone | |
| Ferdinand I of Romania | 1914 – 1927 | 13 years | died in office, manner not recordedread off the dates alone | nephew or niece |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1881 – 1927. Only 46 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 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”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of Romania, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
