Ah, poor Henry, I., hasn't any time to rest
just think how large the measurements would be if Henry,
VIII., had been used ...
or how small they'd be if Victoria had been used.
As to your liquid measurements, we, o'er the pond, use a combination
of the Romantic & the English units ... gallons to litres, ...
good thing I learned my 'readin' 'ritin' 'rithmetic'
BTW - have we answered the initial poster's question(s) or have we
left him to wonder further, wandering aimlessly through these bits & bytes,
from the peanut-gallery's historical corner & goofy section,
