  • The monarchy of Greece contains the official head of state of Greece and his or her family. The earliest recorded monarch of what is now Greece was Karanos, the legendary founder of Macedon. One of the greatest was Alexander III, who expanded the borders of Greece to much of the known world. The start of his reign in 336 BC also marks the start of the Alexandrian calendar. Succession law dictated that, in the event of a monarch's death or abdication, the eldest son or other male heir would advance to the throne. The earliest known exception was Cleopatra, the only female monarch before the accession of Helen in 2172. However, in the aftermath of the Great Religious War, many began to fight for the rights of women as opposed to just men. In 1774 (2110 AXC), King Konstantinos VIII issued the Act of Reformation of Succession to the Greek Throne. The succession laws then changed to include women, most notably Konstantinos' aforementioned daughter, Helen. Following Helen, five of twelve monarchs were female. The monarchs are divided into three historical eras: the Old, Classical, Middle, Late, and New Kingdoms. Approximately 194 years remain until the end of the New Kingdom, which will be given a new name by the next Kingdom.
