The following is a list of the holders of the Chathairrih Fhainnin, the royal throne of the Fhainn, from the foundation of the Kingdom of Fhainnlannachaerean to its dissolution in 1913. Each is titled Rih(King) or Banrih(Queen), with Dòchas referring to both local Princes, who were the chief vassals of the king, and the actual heirs of the Rih, though the heirs also could expect their own principality independent of election to the Throne.

Rules of Inheritance

Originally, the position of Rih was enforced my martial strength until the reign of Ruaridh III, who reformed the country into an elective monarchy, where the Princes of various subject states under the Crown voted on a successor upon the death of the previous king. This lead directly to the instability of the First and Second Princes' Wars, which saw several pretenders to the throne marry into women of cadet branches of the Màrtainn line for legitimacy. In response, the Suthar-Màrtainn line redefined the limits of candidates who could be voted on by the Vicars to lines tracing back to the original Màrtainn line, using a document called the Edict of Succession to except their own branch through Cailean Suthar-Màrtainn's status as a firstborn child to exclude every extant branch outside of their own from possessing the throne. While challenged repeatedly, the Edict would both remain in effect and be used to ensure the succession of the throne through Rethysear Suthar-Màrtainn nearly three centuries later.
