** Equally, Kings/Patricians before Vetinari and Archchancellors before Ridcully used to have quite short tenures; one king was killed mere seconds after his coronation, and became known to history as King Loyola the Aaargh. Patricians always seemed to end up going crazy and needing to be replaced or assassinated, while the wizards were firm believers in [[Klingon Promotion]]. Vetinari got around this by [[Vetinari Job Security|being irreplaceable]], Ridcully by being virtually unkillable.

*** The last patrician before Vetinari, Mad Lord Snapcase, lasted about a decade. Homicidal Lord Winder is also implied to have lasted a good while. The Archchancellors, by comparison, were replaced once per book, implying tenures counted in single-digit months.
