How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved, 1939-04-01. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1931 – 1939. Only 8 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 2 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 0.78, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
