Two Monarchs At the Same Time (IGC too)

[unmerged(181)]

I have been doing an analysis of the monarchs. I have discovered a number of instances where, according to the monarch files start and end years, two monarchs rule at the same time. I believe these unusual situations remain in the IGC as well. Here are the five examples I have found so far:

Wurttemburg:
Eberhard I (1482-1496)
Eberhard II (1495-1498)

Hungary:
Rakoczi II (1648-1660)
Lipot I (1658-1677)

Moldova:
Johan (1503-1574) 72 Year Reign!!!
There are three other monarchs during this time. I am guessing the correct reign start in 1563 when Jakob Basilicus ends.

Cleves:
Johann Wilhelm (1592-1609)
Franz I (1593-1594)

Ukraine:
M. Doroshenko (1625-1628)
K. Vovk (1626-1626)
(Is it just me or does the Ukraine have a lot of monarchs for a country that was independent only briefly during this time period?)

There may be more examples. I only looked at the countries that seemed unusual.

I do not know what happens when the monarchs overlap. I will look at my GC tonight to see if I can get any insight.

Thanks for reporting. I will make suitable corrections.

Ukraine

The Ukrainian "monarchs" are actually the Cossack hetmans. And yes, there were a LOT of them during the period

@ Russian Monarchs

As Russia in the IGC 1.8, in the late 1500's, I had Boris Gudunov as a Monarch general while Fedor was Tsar. after a few years Fedor died and Boris Gudunov became the sole Monarch/Tsar.

All these inconsistencies will be solved in the next version of IGC, as monarchs will have historic death dates ( and so will the generals/monarchs). I've already corrected Russian file.
