Best Answer

Medieval lawyers were paid in currency, and their fees could be high.

A source I found said a top lawyer in 1455 could make 300 pounds per year. Adjusting for inflation over time, this comes to about five times as much as what a knight would have earned earned a hundred years earlier, or possibly half to a quarter as much as a baron's income.

There were gold coins minted in medieval England with some rather odd denominations, such as six shillings and eight pence, because they were a standard fee for a legal procedure.
