In compound ordinal numbers, note that only the last figure is written as an ordinal number:

Figures

When expressed as figures, the last two letters of the written word are added to the ordinal number:
  • first = 1st
  • second = 2nd
  • third = 3rd
  • fourth = 4th
  • twenty-sixth = 26th
  • hundred and first = 101st

Titles

In names for kings and queens, ordinal numbers are written in Roman numbers. In spoken English, the definite article is used before the ordinal number:

  • Edward VI - Edward the Sixth
  • Henry VIII - Henry the Eighth
