Since we're all in history, here is a grammatical point that I had been wondering about and just took the time to look up:
When numbers are used as the first part of a compound adjective, they should have a hyphen connecting them to the noun which follows them. This applies whether the number is written in words or in digits.. . .Incorrect: He is knowledgeable in thirteenth century politics.There should be a hyphen between thirteenth and century.
This site, where the above quote is from, has additional rules for hyphenating words in English (in case you're interested):http://opengrammar.sentenceworks.com/tiki-index.php?page=Hyphen
