Medieval Price List
http://medieval.ucdavis.edu/120D/Money.html
Each currency in the Middle Ages is calculated at the following rates. In addition, since the monetary value of the Middle Ages is completely different from the present day, the conversion rate into the Japanese yen is unknown.
1 pound (L) = 20 shillings (s)
1 shilling = 12p (d)
1 penny (single form of pence) = 4 fading
1 mark = 13 shillings and 4 pence
As for the price list, “The price list can be misleading to the feudal economy, because in the Middle Ages so many things were produced in the household or supplied by the lord. was the vassals and servants to serve in such and aristocrats, as well as get a Kyukin, food and shelter, we sometimes ask them to provide weapons, cloth and the like. it is the Knights Templar thing if also, to be provided `` It will be clothes, horses, armor, etc. '', and it is only a summary of the prices of what is recorded, but people at that time were exchanging everything at that price I am not saying that.
