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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hendrik Carloff | 1650 – 1655 | 5 years | ending not on record | |
| Johan Filip von Krusenstierna | 1655 – 1658 | 3 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1650 – 1658. Only 8 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. 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”.
Flags and arms, in order
Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.
