Information AboutReign |
|
A reign is a period of time a person serves as a Monarch or Pope . No time limit exists on reigns, nor is there a term of office. Thus a reign usually lasts for the remainer of the monarch's life, unless the monarchy itself is abolished or the monarch abdicates. The term of a reign can be indicated with the abbreviation "r." after a sovereign's name, such as the following: : George VI, King Of The Dominion Of Canada (r. 1936–1952) REIGNS
A reign can be ended in three ways:
Abdications
Abolitions of Monarchies King Constantine II Of Greece reigned from 1963 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy in 1973. King Humbert II Of Italy reigned for only a few weeks in 1946 before the abolition of the Italian Monarchy. |
