5 rulers, 5 with terms dated as terms, covering 821 – 872. Median reign 10 years. 1 of 4 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 happened within it, by century

1 rows, over a span too long to list by century.
