Rulers
The line of head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen Victoria | 1877 – 1901 | 24 years | ending not on record | |
| Edward VII | 1902 – 1910 | 8 years | died in office of natural causesWikidata's manner of death | child |
3 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1877 – 1910. Only 33 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”.
