MCXXVI

MCXXVI is a Roman numeral that represents the number one thousand one hundred seventeen (1117). The notation uses the letters M (1000), C (100), X (10), V (5), and I (1) in sequence, following the standard rules of Roman numerals wherein values are added when a smaller numeral follows a larger one.

In historical contexts, MCXXVI is most frequently encountered as an alternative way of writing the year AD 1117. That year falls in the High Middle Ages, a period marked by significant developments in European politics, culture, and architecture. Notable events associated with the year 1117 include the tenure of Pope Paschal II, ongoing negotiations during the reign of King Henry I of England, and important military campaigns in the Crusader states.

The numeral also appears in various other domains. In literature, authors sometimes use Roman numerals to label chapters, volumes, or editions, and MCXXVI can denote the 1,117th entry in a list or sequence. In legal and administrative documents, Roman numerals are employed for sections, clauses, and enumerated items; thus MCXXVI may identify a particular subsection or item within a larger framework.

Because Roman numerals remain a common symbolic system worldwide, MCXXVI is a familiar representation for people studying medieval history, classical literature, or documents that employ traditional numbering conventions. It continues to be used by scholars, educators, and enthusiasts who need a concise way to refer to the number one thousand one hundred seventeen or to the historical year AD 1117.
