Louis XIV, the longest-reigning sovereign monarch whose reign is verifiable by exact date

Monarchs of sovereign states with verifiable reigns by exact date

The following are the twenty-five longest-reigning monarchs of states who were internationally recognized as sovereign for most or all of their reign. Byzantine emperors Constantine VIII and Basil II, reigning for 66 years in total (962–1028) and for 65 years in total (960–1025) respectively, are not included, because for part of those periods they reigned only nominally as junior co-emperors alongside senior emperors.

Monarchs whose exact dates of rule are unknown

These monarchs are grouped according to length of reign by year in whole numbers. Within each year-grouping, they appear in historical order. In a given year, there may have been a wide array of actual reign lengths based on days. Thus, this table does not present a precise ranking by length of reign. The list is limited to those that might reasonably be expected to lie within the range of those in the tables above, at minimum 56 years. The list is sorted alphabetically. Emphasised states were sovereign. Japanese legendary emperors, according to the ancient Japanese calendar, reigned for very long terms of 60–70 years each. The longest ruler of the legendary emperors, Emperor Kōan, was claimed to have reigned for about 101 years. These figures are not included in the table because they are regarded as inaccurate by modern scholars. For those, see Longevity myths.

retained sovereignty over his state until his death on 31 March 1948 Pepi II s figure has been disputed by some Egyptologists who favour a shorter reign length of 64 years given the absence of attested dates known for Pepi after his 31st Count which would equate to 62 years assuming the count to be biennial Others point however to the consistency between the existing historical sources all crediting Pepi with over 90 years of reign Finally the lack of evidence beyond his 62nd year does not preclude a much longer reign especially in view of the decay of the Egyptian state into the chaos of the First Intermediate Period at the end of Pepi s reign A dispute exists concerning when Taejo s reign ended Lower estimates suggest 121 145 and higher ones up to 167 but the most widely believed one is 146 since Korean historians claim that he died in that year 121 CE is another possible accepted date of Taejo s end reign While the chronology of his reign is disputed his existence is generally accepted by most historians Some sources just give 80 years of lifespan not reign and Chronology disputed Other sources put his start date as 679 or 689 During his lifetime Otto I had many co monarchs including his father Rudolph IV who made him ruler in 1308 he also ruled with his brother Henry IV until he died in 1318 as well as his brother Rudolph VI who died in 1352 In Co Reign with
