The campaign docs cover 5 kings and a queen, but that's not much in a 1700 year lineage.
Timeline of Risur
-1200: Kelland founds Risur.
-???: ???
000: Dukain fights Voice of Rot in the Black Needles.
???: Romana ancestor actions unspecified.
218: Zidi Wheatling defeats Granny Alswell.
300: Boyle slays the last dragon tyrant.
350: Hibiscus of the Argent Rampant provokes 1st Yerasol War.
???: Caroline knights Dame Melissa Gahlot.
400: Lorcan Finn fights 2nd Yerasol War, defeats witches of Cauldron Hill.
4??: Melissa Gahlot actions unspecified.
457: ??? fights 3rd Yerasol War.
460: Aodhan Lesterman industrializes Flint, fights 4th Yerasol War.
501: ??? saves (or ends) the kingdom (or world).
In my campaign:
-1150: Esme formalizes the rites of succession.
100: Romana founds colonies in Elfaivar.
Calculations:
I'd guess that most crown successors are nominated during early to mid adulthood.
If they spend roughly the second half of their adult lifespan as monarch:
If one of each medium likelihood race were crowned BOV, that leaves about 12-16 human monarchs unaccounted.

PHB Race | Avg Reign | Likelihood |
Human | 40 y | very high |
Halfling | 60 y | medium |
Half-Elf | 80 y | medium |
Gnome | 160 y | medium |
Elf (BOV) | 300 y | medium |
Half-Orc | 30 y | low |
Dwarf | 180 y | low |
