It is very difficult to dettermine money values from one era to another. 9 livre may be the cost to dress a man or perhaps 30 livre for a mans cloke. However 10 pound of tea might cost one 10 livre or the same as a mans outfit. 10 livre to purchace a rapier. How would the value of a hand made sword compare with tea or cost of dressing a man?
