What does REGNAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
historical
Relating to a monarch's reign, especially the numbered year counted from when that ruler took the throne.
Regnal appears mainly in the phrase regnal year, the historical practice of dating official documents by counting years from a monarch's accession rather than from a fixed calendar era. Medieval and early modern records often identify a document's date only by its regnal year, such as the fourteenth year of a king's reign, requiring historians to convert it into a standard calendar date. Beyond this dating system, regnal broadly describes anything connected with a sovereign's rule.
