Note.—The dates given are those in which the various rulers
acquired sovereign power. Many had already secured the allegiance
of certain provinces some time before, and many retained such
allegiance long after the greater portion of the empire had accepted
a successful rival. European nations in several instances treated
with men who were not at the time actual sovereigns, and in some
cases were never such.
