<p>The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these<a>symbols</a>(I and II) represented? Those are the Roman Numerals. In ancient times, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. As life became more complex, a standardized form was needed. The Ancient Romans used the Roman Numeral system for counting. The symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are used in this system.</p>
