Each monarch belongs to one of nine royal houses ([[House of Vijaya|Vijaya]], [[House of Lambakanna I|Lambakanna I]], [[House of Moriya|Moriya]], [[House of Lambakanna II|Lambakanna II]], [[House of Vijayabahu|Vijayabahu]], [[House of Kalinga|Kalinga]], [[House of Siri Sanga Bo|Siri Sanga Bo]], [[House of Dinajara|Dinajara]] and [[Nayaks of Kandy|Nayaks]]{{#tag:ref|The Nayaks were not an ethnically Sinhalese royal house, nonetheless are considered a part of the Sinhalese monarchy.|group="N"}}), and follows a tradition of regnal names that span the entirety of the monarchy. For example, Vijayabahu was used 7 times over multiple kingdoms and multiple royal houses over a period of 500 years and there is no overlap of names, [[Vijayabahu I of Polonnaruwa|Vijayabahu I]], [[Vijayabahu II of Polonnaruwa|II]], [[Vijayabahu III of Dambadeniya|III]], [[Vijayabahu IV of Dambadeniya|IV]], [[Vijayabahu V of Dambadeniya|V]], [[Vijayabahu VI of Gampola|VI]], [[Vijayabahu VII of Kotte|VII]]. The same is true for Aggabodhi, Bhuvanaikabahu, Kassapa, Mahinda, Parakramabahu and others. ==Notes== This list should be used with the following factors kept in mind. Firstly, the dates provided for the earliest monarchs are difficult to objectively verify; those particularly difficult to know have been denoted with a (?) mark. The date August 20, 1200 is the earliest known fixed date in Sri Lankan history, which was for the coronation of [[Sahassa Malla]]. Another thing to be noted is that several monarchs had usurped the throne of Lanka including Sinhalese monarchs such as [[Anikanga of Polonnaruwa|Anikanga]], [[Chodaganga of Polonnaruwa|Chodaganga]], [[Sri Vallabha of Polonnaruwa]] and [[Mahinda VI of Polonnaruwa|Mahinda VI]].{{sfn|Codrington|1926|page=67}} The usurpers may have received support from rival kingdoms such as the [[Cholas]]. === Note on chronology === It should be borne in mind that there is controversy about the base date of the [[Buddhist Era]], with dates between the 6th century BCE and 4th century BCE being advanced as the date of the ''parinibbana'' of the [[Buddha]].<ref>Witzel, Michael (2019).

[[Chandragupta Maurya]] ascended the throne 56 years prior to this, or 162 years after the ''parinibbana''. The approximate date of Chandragupta's ascension is within two years of 321 BCE (from [[Megasthenes]]). Hence the approximate date according to the Mahavamsa of the ''parinibbana'' is between 485 and 481 BCE.<ref name="WG">{{cite book| last = Geiger (Tr)| first = Wilhelm| title = The Mahawamsa or Great Chronicle of Ceylon| publisher = Oxford University Press (for the Pali Text Society)| year = 1912| location = Oxford| url = http://lakdiva.org/culavamsa/vol_0.html| page = 300| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081030142737/http://lakdiva.org/culavamsa/vol_0.html| archive-date = 2008-10-30}}</ref> According to Geiger, the difference between the two reckonings seems to have occurred at sometime between the reigns of Udaya III (946–954 or 1007–1015) and Pârakkama Pandya (c. 1046–1048), when there was considerable unrest in the country.<ref name="WG" /> However, mention is made of an embassy sent to China by ''Cha-cha Mo-ho-nan'' in 428.

Recent [[Indology|indological]] research has indicated that the Parinibbana of the Buddha may be even later than previously supposed. A majority of the scholars at a symposium held in 1988 in [[Göttingen]] regarding the problem were inclined towards a date of 440–360 BCE.<ref>{{cite web|last=Cousins|first=L.

Dates after c. 1048 are synchronous. The [[Mahavamsa]] was complied nearly a millennium after the purported date of [[Prince Vijaya|Vijaya's]] arrival, and the traditional chronology and relationships of the earliest kings have been called into question by some scholars.<ref> W.

The round figure of ten years assigned to four of the rulers also makes the chronology open to suspicion. The historicity of one of these successors of Devanampiya Tissa, however, is proved by epigraphical records, and we have to conclude either that these rulers were contemporary, exercising authority in different regions of the Island, or that the relationship they bore to each other, as given in the chronicles, is wrong."<ref> W.
