Ón mbliain 1189 ar aghaidh i Sasana, rinneadh
doiciméid oifigiúla a dhátú trí úsáid a bhaint
as bliain an rí/na banríona a bhí i réim.
Tosaíonn gach bliain den sórt sin ar
chothromdháta an lae a tháinig an rí/an
bhanríon i gcomharbacht ar an gcoróin (e.g.
ba í an bhliain 1509 an bhliain inar tháinig
Henry VIII i gcomharbacht ar choróin Shasana
agus is féidir é a lua mar ‘1 Hen. 8’).
From 1189 official documents in England and
Wales were dated using the regnal year. Each
regnal year begins on the anniversary of the
day the sovereign succeeded to the throne
(e.g. 1509 was the year Henry VII acceded to
the throne of England and may be cited as ‘1
Hen. 8’).
