1193

1193 may refer to the year 1193 CE or to the integer 1193. As a year, it sits in the late 12th century, a period characterized by ongoing Crusades, shifting European alliances, and the activity of the Papacy.

In 1193, one of the most documented events was the capture of King Richard I of England. He was taken prisoner by Duke Leopold V of Austria while returning from the Third Crusade and was held in the fortress at Dürnstein. Richard remained a prisoner until 1194, when his release was secured after the payment of a substantial ransom. The episode had significant diplomatic and financial repercussions across England and continental Europe. During that time, the Papacy under Celestine III continued to influence Christian Europe and Crusade diplomacy.

As a number, 1193 is a prime number. In Roman numerals, it is written as MCXCIII. In binary, 1193 equals 10010101001. These mathematical properties place 1193 among the odd prime integers that appear in various number-theoretic contexts.
