Great episode, Wow the armor for the Prince of Wales cost 340 pounds in 1614, that would equate to $90,730 dollars or 76,537 pounds sterling today, and that top fashionable gown cost 200s (Shillings) which is 10 pounds so today that would have been equal to $14,690 dollars or 12,392 pounds sterling today, compare that to the fashionable gown which is 63d, so lets break this down, there's 240 old pence to a pound sterling and I calculated 63pence at 33 pounds sterling or a 1/3 of a pound, so that roughly equates to $485 or 40913 pounds sterling today, and lastly the funeral for a gentle woman which cost 7 pounds thats equates to $10,487 or 8,847 pounds sterling today, which is the average cost of a modern funeral Hope you guys enjoy my conversion, I enjoyed doing it Did mention I love and collect British silver coins and as an American I prefer to old pound sterling standard or Pre-decimalization

Hold on a minutebrIn your first example the unskilled labourer is being paid 2d a day and you say this is 480d a yearbrIn the next sentence you say his rate increased to 3d a day which is a 50 risebrBut you say his yearly pay doubled to 960d a yearie a 100 rise

Hello my name is Alicia Alexander and I believe I have a hammered coin but haven't been able to figure out what exactly it is! Maybe you could help me with that!

How much liquid was in a gallon?
Comment from : @taiga1295

I had a random thought cross my mind of how much did things cost back in medieval times, and it just got me thinking on the whole idea This video was absolutely intriguing and hit every question on the head!

The average life expectancy was 30 years but that also includes mortality rates of unborn children, infants and soldiers The life expectancy if you survived birth, famine, and war was about mid 60s-70s

Considering how low some pays were, wouldn't it make more sense just to look for coins on the ground? In a day, you'd be bound to find at least some, especially if you lived in a city

Wow, very interesting especially to see how much 80 pounds of cheese would cost Perhaps these people were getting ready to bake a large pot of macaroni and cheese?
