Topic: Ordinal (monarchs)


  
 [No title]
The decline of the influence of the monarch and the rise of the power of the Prime Minister and Cabinet continued during the reign of the next monarch, George II, but was halted during that of George III.
Monarchs are not allowed to unilaterally abdicate; the only monarch to voluntarily abdicate, Edward VIII (1936), did so with the authorisation of a special Act of Parliament (His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936).
The monarch is only an ordinary member, and not the head or leader, of the Church of Scotland; however, he or she does hold the power to appoint the Lord High Commissioner to the Church's General Assembly.

  Monarchical ordinal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ordinal is the number placed after a monarch's regnal name to differentiate between a number of kings, queens or princes reigning the same territory with the same regnal name.
Ordinals for monarchs before 13th century are actually anachronisms, as are also ordinals for almost all later medieval monarchs, too.
The ordinal for King Juan Carlos I of Spain is used in both Spanish and English, though the British tradition of not using "I" as an ordinal until there is a "II" is sufficiently strong that he is sometimes simply called King Juan Carlos of Spain in English.

 Use of ordinals by monarchs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Ordinal numbers or regnal numbers are used to distinguish between persons with the same name who held the same office.
In any case, it is usual to count only the monarchs or heads of the family, and to numbering them sequentially up to the end of the dynasty.
For example, when Mary I of England acceeded to the throne, her regnal style was announced as "the most high, most puissant, and most excellent Princess Mary the First, by the Grace of God Queen of England, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, and of the Church of England and Ireland Supreme Head".

 Regnal name - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Since mediaeval times monarchs have frequently chosen to use a name different from their own personal name (and therefore the regnal name is technically a pseudonym) when they inherit a throne.
The new name (or sometimes the old one, confirmed) is followed by an ordinal to give a unique name for the period when the monarch is on the throne.
Most current and recent European monarchs have used their first one or two given names, including Albert II of the Belgians, Juan Carlos I of Spain, Beatrix of the Netherlands, Margrethe II of Denmark, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and the former Constantine II of the Hellenes.

New Monarchs were the rulers of European nations during the 15th century who unified their nations, creating a stable and centralized government.
It was the centralized governments created under the New Monarchs in the 15th century that allowed for an era of colonization and conquest in the 16th century, and paved the way for rapid economic growth in Europe.
After the New Monarchs, the Absolutist Monarchs gained sway, to be followed by the Enlightened despots.

 Environmental and External Factors Influencing PostdiapauseReproductive Development in Monarchs
Herman (1981) reported a period of minimal reproductive tract development in monarchs collected in California overwintering sites from September to December even after they were incubated under conditions that are normally favorable to reproductive development (16h:8h light:dark; 25°C), clearly demonstrating the refractory period necessarily associated with diapause.
We assessed scale loss on an ordinal scale from 1 to 5 (no loss to severe loss) and wing edge tatter on an ordinal scale from 0 to 4 (no wing tatter to all 4 wings tattered).
While the factors that trigger monarch diapause development remain to be determined, our results suggest that postdiapause reproductive development are strongly influenced by external factors such as host plant availability and mating, serving to synchronize reproduction with the seasonal availability of breeding habitat.

After the Union, the ordinal has been the English number (for "George", "Edward" and "Elizabeth") and, until recently, there was no formal rule (see List of regnal numerals of future British monarchs).

 Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The use of ordinals where there has been more than a single holder of a specific monarchical name is correct and appropriate.
If a monarch or prince is overwhelmingly known, in English, by a cognomen, it may be used, and there is then no need to disambiguate by adding Country.
Deceased Royal Consorts are referred to by their pre-marital name or pre-marital title, not by their consort name, as without an ordinal (which they lack) it is difficult to distinguish various consorts; eg, as there have been many queen consorts called Catherine, use Catherine of Aragon not Queen Catherine.

Queen Elizabeth II, head of state of the United Kingdom, is descended from King James VI, King of Scots, the first Scottish monarch to also be King of England (James I, King of England from 1603).
Monarchs between 1603 and 1707, such as James VI and I and James VII and II, reigned over separate states and hence used a dual ordinal (see Personal union).
Properly, the Scottish monarch was known as King of Scots or Queen of Scots, and referred to as "your Grace", rather than "your Majesty".

Vicki Rosenzweig because it's not even true that English monarchs are mostly likely to end up in here; we already have lots of German nobility, for example.

 The Continuum: Anglican Origins and Historical Revisionism
While I think the ordinal was quite different, and continues to be due to the lingering ill effects of the Lutheran Pietist movement, I think it is hard to argue that there was a vast liturgical difference.
The C of E's intention in these rites is deliberately, explicitly and positively expressed in the Preface to the Ordinal, and that is to continue the three-fold Ministry that had always existed in the Church.
Thus, Dr Messenger’s attempt to dismiss the Anglican Ordinal’s reference to the power of remitting sins as obviously uncatholic is unjust, even ignoring the fact he bases this on private opinions of individuals rather than official Church statements.

The tradition of bestowing this title on the eldest son of the British Monarch continues today.
Separate ordinals were abandoned when the two states merged with the Act of Union 1707, with subsequent monarchs using ordinals apparently based on English not Scottish history (it might be argued that the monarchs have simply taken the higher ordinal, which to date has always been English).
One example is Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, who is referred to as being "the Second" even though there never was an Elizabeth I of Scotland.
