  Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No regnal number was used by him at the time, but works of reference have retrospectively assigned him various ordinals as to both of his kingdoms.
The most usual number is II, though he was also the eighth Ladislas (VIII) on the Hungarian throne and the fifth Vladislav (V) on the Bohemian one.
His predecessor as the King of Hungary, Matthias Corvinus, had previously been a rival for the crown of Bohemia.

 General Chronology
The period 7980 was obtained by multiplying together 28, 19, and 15, being respectively the number of years in the Solar Cycles the Lunar Cycle, and the Roman Indiction, and the year 4713 B.C. was that for which the number of each of these subordinate cycles equals 1.
Having obtained the centurial number for any century, we add to it the year numbers of the years which follow to the close of that century.
Thus for A.D. 1100 the centurial number is 3 (14-11), for 1500, 6 (21-15), for 1900, 2 (21-19).

 Monarchical ordinal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While the member of the elder branch were numbered in order of birth until the extinction of the branch in 1927, the members of the younger line were (and still are) numbered in sequences which began and ended roughly as centuries began and ended.
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".
Queen Matilda, the wife of King Stephen of England, is known Matilda I of Boulogne - her regnal number being that belonging to a sovereign ruler of Boulogne.

A great many local systems or eras were also important, for example the year from the foundation of one particular city, the regnal year of the neighboring Persian emperor, and eventually even the year of the reigning Caliph.
In this same history, he was the first to use BC and established the standard for historians of no year zero, even though he used zero in his computus.
The earlier Christian system was the Era of Martyrs, which numbered years from the accession of Diocletian in 284, who launched the last yet most severe persecution of Christians.

 Regnal Years - Dating - Skills Resources - Manuscripts & Special Collections - The University of Nottingham
The regnal year is normally calculated from the date of the accession of a particular monarch, with the number changing on the anniversary of the accession.
For example, King John's regnal year was reckoned as beginning on the date of his coronation, not his accession.
Another difficulty is that because a regnal year is normally calculated from a fixed date to a fixed date, the moveable feasts of the church - such as Easter - can sometimes take place twice in one year.

The Era of Martyrs, which numbered years from the accession of Diocletian in 284, who launched the last yet most severe persecution of Christians, prevailed in the East and is still used officially by the Coptic and used to be used by the Ethiopian church.
The official Japanese system numbers years from the accession of the current emperor, regarding the calendar year during which the accession occurred as the first year.
The beginning of the numbered year also varied from place to place, and was not largely standardized in Europe (except England) as January 1 until the sixteenth century.

The volume numbers run in one unbroken sequence, and the year is therefore given in round brackets to show that it is not an essential part of the citation.
The main reference is now to the year, and not to the volume number, the volume number being used to distinguish between several volumes issued during the same year and forming part of the same division.
The first page number (126) is that upon which the report commences, and the second (140) is the page upon which the particular passage appears which the author is citing.

 Science in Christian Perspective
It will be obvious that regnal totals reckoned according to such a system will increase by one year for every reign over absolute time and also by one year for every reign over regnal totals reckoned according to the accession-year method.
A number of chronological problems are in the short period following Jehoshaphat's 18th and the accession of Jehoram in Israel and extending to the reigns of Athaliah in Judah and Jebu in Israel which we cannot here discuss.
However, there are a number of contacts with Assyria and synchronisms with Babylonian kings which go far toward making possible a trustworthy reconstruction of Hebrew chronology for the closing period of Judah's history.

 The Ancient Egypt Site - Titulary of Sesostris III
According to Manetho, Sesostris III ruled for 48 years, but it is likely that this high number combines the length of his reign with that of his predecessor(s).
The number of execration texts found in Syria-Palestine is fairly high, pointing to Sesostris' anti-Asiatic policy.
In at least 4 military campaigns, during the regnal years 8, 10, 16 and 19, the relatively peaceful relationship between Egypt and Nubia was brought to an end.

 Note on Dating, Diocese of Vic by Paul Freedman
In addition to the normal inexactitude of Catalan documents of this period, based as they are on the regnal years of the Capetian kings of France, two parchments in particular call into question the chronology of the bishops of Vic by describing years in various ways that do not agree.
The era number, however, is 1138, and the indiction number is eight, both of which work out to 1100.
In this case, four versions of the date are given, three of which agree on 1101 (regnal year, incarnation year, and the era), whereas the indiction is the equivalent of 1100.

 Egyptian to Julian conversion: Reign length analysis
We are told by other sources that Ptolemy II and Ptolemy VIII both counted their regnal eras from the year they became coregent, rather than the year they became sole ruler, and that the regnal era of Augustus was initially based on the anniversary of the fall of Alexandria.
Since Ptolemy's concern is with the length of reign, not with regnal year numbers as such, the eras for these kings in the list are clearly based on the epochs that made most sense to Ptolemy for dating astronomical events.
These occur for a number of reasons, and not all of them are useful in establishing the position of one reign relative to another.

 Calendopaedia - Counting Years
Regnal years are a method of counting years from the date that the monarch came to the throne.
Dionysius Exiguus (in English known as Denis the Little) was a monk from Scythia, he was a canon in the Roman curia, and his assignment was to prepare calculations of the dates of Easter.
At that time it was customary to count years since the reign of emperor Diocletian; but in his calculations Dionysius chose to number the years since the birth of Christ, rather than honour the persecutor Diocletian.

 Numbers and Dates in parish registers
Regnal years are really hard to get to grips with.
Instead of a normal calendar year, the year written down was the number of years since the year in which the Coronation took place.
The ones we are really interested in are those from 1538, when parish registers began, although of course Regnal years were commonly used before this date.

The lumpers combine similar animals together to keep a minimum number of species, recognizing separate species only when their are clear and marked differences.
The philosophical reason is that the fewer the number of eras employed to explain the inscriptions, the simpler the solution, and it is a general principle that the simplest solution is usually the best.
These could just be regnal years, but it is interesting to speculate that they could also be an era founded by Ajitasena.

 Egyptian to Julian conversion: Civil calendar structure
The year was usually identified by the regnal era of a king -- in principle, the number of years that had passed since the year of king's accession.
Establishing the correct correlation of regnal eras is far and away the major source of complexity in the Egyptian calendar, as it is in ancient Egyptian chronology in general.
These represent retrospective references made using one regnal era to years, which were proleptically covered by that era, equating them to the year numbers in the regnal era that was actually in use at the time.

 ONSNUMIS.ORG - Meeting of the Oriental Numismatic Society in Jena 17/18 April 1999
The relatively low number of Turkic coins found in Soghd, Chach and Ferghana is due to the chronological limits of this coinage - it was terminated by the Arab conquest of Mawara¦annahr and the consequent introduction of new kinds of coins.
This hypothesis was tested: If the number of dots represents the regnal years, then the frequency of each type of coin should reflect what could be expected on the basis of known historical events.
But because of their large number, a complete reconstruction of the coin designs could be made for the first time.

 Recent Progress in the Chronology
Both Hintze and Wenig continued, however, to use the speculative regnal years which Reisner assigned to every single Nubian ruler who is known by name and burial, in spite of the fact that, except for the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty kings, we have no evidence whatsoever for regnal dates.
Speculative regnal dates continue nevertheless to appear in scholarly works, and, as a regrettable consequence, they are quoted bona fide by wide circles of ancient historians.
At the next conference organised in 1984 in Rome, a number of chronological studies was presented in the special context of the connections between Kush and the external world.

The same chronicle in a broken context records a campaign of Cyrus in the ninth regnal year of Nabonidus (547 B.C.E.) which probably was directed against Lydia and describes the capture of its capital Sardis (but the name is preserved only partially and the restoration is not quite certain, see Grayson, pp.
The chronicle also states that in the seventeenth regnal year of Nabonidus (539 B.C.E.) the Persians inflicted a defeat on the Babylonians at the city of Opis, captured Sippar and then occupied Babylon without a battle and took Nabonidus prisoner (Grayson, pp.
The chronicle goes on to state that there was no interruption of the rites in Babylonian temples and that when Cyrus entered Babylon he pronounced words of greeting to all inhabitants of the city.

In other cultures the first regnal year is the first full year of the monarch's reign.
In this case the monarch ascended the throne in the year of his or her predecessor but the first regnal year does not include that fractional period.
Thus a regnal year may or may not be the same as the monarch's accession year.

 The Decree of Artaxerxes: Is It a Key to the Date of the Crucifixion?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
As Yamauchi stated, many scholars argue that from the issuance of the decree in the spring of the 7th year of Persian king Artaxerxes I (458/457 BCE), 69 prophetic weeks (the 7+62 weeks of Daniel 9:25 in which a prophetic day equals a year), 483 years in literal time, would pass until the Messiah's appearance.
Many Christians find this logic compelling because 483 years beginning with the seventh regnal year of Artaxerxes I, leads to CE 26 (by the Nisan-to-Nisan calendar) or CE 27 (by the Tishri-to-Tishri calendar) as dates for the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
This inset section is in chronological order from Cyrus to Artaxerxes I. It ends with governmental halting of the Jewish attempt to rebuild the city by "force of arms" at the order of Artaxerxes (Ezra 4:23).

The regnal year refers to the number of years a monarch has been on the throne and the chapter number is a running number assigned to each Act in a Parliamentary session, e.g.
Between 1865 and 1875 a case was cited by reference to the court in which it was decided and a serial number dating from 1865 prefixed by the letters L.R., e.g.
In 1891 the date became for the first time a part of the reference in place of a serial number and the letter D for Division was dropped, e.g.

 [No title]
Besides the obvious numbering beginning with his 1st year on the Persian throne, it was conjectured that Cambyses sometimes dated his years beginning with the death of Amasis (neglecting the regnal year of Psamtik III), and sometimes beginning with his military conquest of Egypt.
Accordingly, he legitimately numbers his years from the time of his elevation to that "kingship", at least three years before the death of Cyrus, a system he apparently continued even after ascending to the Persian throne.
If Darius dated his regnal years from the beginning of his "kingship" of Babylon in 434 B.C. then his 26th through 30th years would correspond to the years 409-405 B.C. and the problem with the Khnemibre inscriptions is completely solved.

The actual number of acts passed by Parliament can vary tremendously from one calendar year to the next, however it is rare for there to be less than 30 or more than 60.
The regnal year begins on the date of the monarch’s accession to the throne.
Since it is often the case that the session of Parliament and the regnal year overlap it is very common to see citations to an act passed in a parliamentary session that spanned two regnal years.

Since the concept of number and quantity entered the analytical mind of man, various numbers have been considered to be "lucky" and "unlucky".
In the United States the number 13 is considered unlucky for a myriad of reasons dating back to biblical times (thirteen people were present at the Last Supper, for example).
Similarly, 4 is considered unlucky number in Russian folklore (due largely to Ivan IV Vasilyevich, better known as Ivan the Terrible).
