In Britain, for example, the sack was a traditional measure for wool, fixed by Edward III at 364 pounds (26 stone) in 1340.

The libra was the Roman unit from which the English pound is descended; the symbol "lb" for the pound comes from this unit.

The word "libra" is sometimes used now for the kilogram, a much larger unit.
