Dynastic Succession

The Sovereign Line from Chios to the Present

For structural clarity, this chart displays only the Heads of the House, their immediate children, and the intermediate agnatic links (indicated by dashed borders) connecting successive Heads. Regnal numerals and sovereign titles are recorded continuously across all generations to reflect the unbroken de jure transmission of the unified dynastic majorat, including during the centuries in which the public style was held in dormancy.
