Years
If some author write siglo XVI. or siglo XX. or IX.
How do I spell it? Do I say el siglo dieciseis el siglo veinte el siglo nueve ? Or something else? And what about 2013 1996 1812 ? |

No periods after Roman numbers: hablamos del siglo XVI, del siglo XX y del siglo IX.
You can find it written like "s. XX", "s. XVI" and "s. IX" though. · "Siglo XVI" se lee "siglo dieciséis" · "Siglo XX" se lee "siglo veinte" · "Siglo IX" se lee "siglo nueve" · 2013 -> Dos mil trece -- Estamos en el año dos mil trece. · 1996 -> Mil novecientos noventa y seis -- Mi hijo nació en mil novecientos noventa y seis. · 1812 -> Mil ochocientos doce -- El catorce de septiembre de mil ochocientos doce comenzó el incendio de Moscú, durante la guerra contra Napoleón.

Not exactly years but still numbers.
Wanna know how to say King Charles I. in Spanish. You see, in English it's one and first. You say rey Carlos de Un / Uno (if you say it out loud out), if you something like rey Carlos I? |

Same in Spanish. We use ordinal numbers (primero, segundo, tercero...): "El rey Carlos primero".
You can take a look at the Diccionario Panhispánico de Dudas to see more.
