This is a List of Esceosian monarhcs, which includes the grand princes (897-996) and the kings, queens, emperors and empresses of Esceosia (996-1848; 1850-1904; 1948-Present).
The Principality of Esceosia was established in 897, following the 9th century Esceosian conquest of the Carpathian Basin and bordering areas]]. The Kingdom of Esceosia existed from 996 (coronation of Saint Stephen) until 1504. The First Esceosian Empire was proclaimed in 1504 and lasted until 1848. After the Esceosian Revolution, the Second Esceosian Empire was created in 1850, that lasted until 1904, when the Republic was proclaimed. The Iványis came back after the Second World War and are still ruling Esceosia today. The Árpád dynasty, the male-line descendants of Grand Prince Árpád, ruled Esceosia continuously from 897 to 1301.
