Anglo-Saxons

Anglo-Saxons typically received payment for their work in the form of "wergild," a system of compensation for injury or death, rather than a standard wage. The amount varied based on social status and occupation, with skilled laborers and artisans earning more than unskilled workers. Additionally, many Anglo-Saxons were part of a barter economy, where goods and services were exchanged directly instead of using money. Overall, exact figures are hard to pinpoint due to the variations in local economies and the lack of standardized currency during that period.
