Succession in office
Who held it, in order
A sequence of office-holders, not a family genealogy.
- 2 holders
- 1 gap
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.
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 holder followed another takes evidence beyond the order of their dates.
