MCDXXXVI

MCDXXXVI is the Roman numeral representation of the integer fourteen hundred and thirty-six (1436). It is used in various contexts, such as denoting years, event numbers, or identifiers in catalogues. In the Gregorian calendar, the year 1436 falls in the Early Modern Period of European history. During this year, the Hundred Years' War between England and France was still ongoing, though the war had begun to turn in favour of the French crown under King Charles VII. In 1436 the Battle of Saint-Aubin was fought, a minor engagement that did not alter the overall outcome of the conflict. Elsewhere, the Kingdom of the Grand Duchy of Moscow continued to consolidate its power under Prince Vasily II, while the Kingdom of Hungary was ruled by King Albert. In the Protestant Reformation's early years, William Tyndale began his translation work of the Bible into English, which would later influence English religious practices. Technologically, the invention of the crank in 1436 as a mechanical device is sometimes cited in the history of engineering, although the precise dating is debated among scholars. The Roman numeral MCDXXXVI has also appeared in various archival documents, such as the records of the English Parliament wherein a session summoned in that year is noted. In contemporary usage, the number can appear in titles of works, product series or model numbers, demonstrating the enduring legacy of Roman numerals in modern nomenclature.
