British Regnal Years, with date of accession and years in reign

Acts under the Regnal Year System

Prior to 1963, Acts of Parliament were numbered using the year of the sovereign’s reign in which the Act was passed, a system known as regnal years. Under the regnal year system, an Act passed early in a parliamentary session has a citation such as 1 Hen. 5, c. 2, for the second chapter in the session that commenced in the first year of the reign of King Henry 5th. He reigned during 1413-1422, and the session Year was 1413. It was common for a session to extend into a second and third regnal year, resulting in citations with several years.
