USAGE
This template creates a row of a table designed to show where a person fits in a succession of officeholders, particularly in cases where the officeholders tend to be related (such as monarchs and other nobility). For purposes of showing relationships, there are five columns, so that two predecessors and two successors can be shown.
The template can be repeated where a person holds multiple titles (such as Ferdinand III).
For each title, use or create a header template, in the format used for UKMonarchHeader here. The format used for most is CountryTitleHeader. Title is singular, capitalized, and generalized -- Template:GermanyMonarchHeader; Template:EnglandPeerageHeader; etc.
Copy the following lines into a person page and fill in the specific details for that person.
