1332

1332 can refer to either the year 1332 CE or the natural number 1332. In historical contexts, it is a year in the 14th century during the Middle Ages, a period marked by dynastic conflicts and regional power struggles across Europe and surrounding regions.

In Scotland, 1332 was a notable year in the Wars of Scottish Independence. The Battle of Dupplin Moor, fought in August 1332, saw Edward Balliol, backed by English forces, defeat the supporters of King David II. Following the battle, Balliol was proclaimed king and later crowned, illustrating the period’s volatile balance of power between rival claimants and foreign influence in Scottish affairs. The episode contributed to the broader, protracted conflict over royal authority that characterized much of northern Britain in the early 14th century.

As a number, 1332 is an even, composite integer. Its prime factorization is 2^2 × 3^2 × 37, making it divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 37, among others. The sum of its digits is 9, so 1332 is a Harshad number in base 10. In Roman numerals it is written as MCCCXXXII.
