Medieval Inflation Calculator: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/currency-converter/#mid

Economic Analysis Reference Math:
– The small axe pickup is worth 200 points, a treasure hoard worth 20,000
– An everyday axe costs 5 pence in 1457, citing that same price list from episode two, so we can place the hoard @ 500 pence = 41 shilling, 8 pence = 2 pounds, 1 shilling, 8 pence
– That calculator adjusts 2p/1s/8d in 1457 (1460, rounded) to 1339.60 pounds in 2017
– That amount in 1460 had the buying power for 2 horses, or 5 cows – which were big deal purchases back then, if you didn’t know.
– 2017 Jan 1 GBP to USD was 1.224:1, so $1639.67
