Note: All dates are approximate.When it is impossible to suggest even approximate dates for the individual reigns of two or more kings in sequence,the period covered by the sequence is roughly calculated on the basis of 20 years per reign.While obviously some reigns were longer than this, and some shorter, the averaging out of these reigns probably produces a result with a reasonably small margin of error.

a Includes period of coregency

b 2nd period as king
