Let&#039;s take a look. A loaf of bread always cost 1 penny. The size of that loaf of bread varied depending on how much flour cost, but the price of a loaf was always 1 penny. 2 chickens cost a penny (on average). A ferry ride across the River Thames also cost a penny. A pint of ale would cost you 2 pence. A gallon of wine cost anywhere from 4 pence to 10 pence, depending on the quality of the wine. A tunic would run about 8 pence, shoes about 4 (low quality on both). If you were an archer in his army, your daily wage was 3 pence. If you were in the infantry, you received 8 pence a day. If you were in the cavalry, 18 pence. A cheap sword would cost you 6 pence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
