Yes. It's eleven hundred and eleven, so you can say that William the 2nd inherited Puglia in eleven eleven. He was only 16, so his mother Adela was the actual ruler from eleven eleven to eleven fourteen.
tbf it probably would have been that if there wasn't a period where we counted a lot of stuff in twelves and twenties, that left special words for 11, 12, and 20, with 12 and 20 especially getting the superspecial words "dozen" and "score".

I make three, anyone else agree?
Edit: added above this. Orig: There is at least eleven hundred and eleven of us but if we reply one at a time this is going to be a long chain.

The hundreds are implied. It's fine to call it eleven hundred eleven.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 2y
If the hundreds are implied, then it's just eleven eleven.

And if you're expecting English to be totally consistent you're going to have a bad time.

The 4 year old in our house consistently adds in 'eleventeen' in her counting, so we all think it's a real number now lol

Words exist because they are used, so it can be a "real" word within your family-lect =)
