The house, member by member
One family drawn as a tree, then every member, oldest first where a date is recorded.
What this means
People whose own records place them in this house. Membership of a house is a family fact. It is not a religious affiliation and not a right to any office. “Child of” appears where a member’s recorded parent is also in the house — a documented human family, the same kind of claim as membership, and nothing more. Imported from Wikidata: nothing here has been read by an editor.

Succession
Offices held in the house
The members in each office, in order — a selection from the office’s whole line.
Monarch of Scotland
- 6 holders
- 4 gaps
What this means
Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.
Does not imply recognition by every tradition · an uncontested claim · parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened
Holding an office after someone says nothing about being related to them or taught by them. Where a line is also a family, both are on the holders’ own pages as separate sections.
A gap is a vacancy, an interregnum or a hole in the record; an overlap is rival claims or an office held by more than one at once. The records do not say which, so neither is resolved here. A gap shorter than two years sits inside the precision of year-dated records and is not marked. Only this house’s members are shown, so a gap between two of them may be a holder from outside it.
Why a succession happened is a historical argument. Where sources make one, it belongs in a reviewed connection with its citations — not in this order, and not in a predecessor field.
Recognition is never universal. Where a card names no recognising body, none is recorded — which is not the same as none.

Chronology is not a full explanation
Why one member followed another takes evidence beyond the order of their dates. That both belonged to the house is not, on its own, that evidence.
