Reigns
A reign is the period of a person's or dynasty's occupation of the office of monarch of a nation (such as Saudi Arabia, Belgium and Andorra), of a people (e.g. the Franks and the Zulus) or of a spiritual community (e.g. Catholicism, Tibetan Buddhism and Nizari Ismailism).
In most hereditary monarchies and some elective monarchies, there have been no limits on the duration of a sovereign's reign or incumbency, nor is there a term of office. Thus, a reign usually lasts until the monarch dies, abdicates or is deposed, or unless the monarchy itself is abolished. Other elective monarchies may have a fixed period of time for the duration of the monarch's tenure in office, with one notable example being the King of Malaysia.
The term of a reign can be indicated with the abbreviation "r." (for Latin regnavit/rexit) after a sovereign's name, such as the following:
George VI, King of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions, Emperor of India (r. 1936–1952).
