Unit Definition (alen [Swedish])
The Swedish Alen is slightly shorter than the Scandinavian Alen. It is almost equal to 2 foot, or more precisely equal to 59.38 centimeters (23.38 inches).

Unit Definition (league [UK])
The league became a common unit of measurement throughout western Europe, although its length varied greatly from region to region. It was originally intended to represent the distance a person could walk in an hour. In many cases it was equal to 3 miles, (note that the definition of a mile also varied from region to region). At sea, the league was often equal to 3 nautical miles, which is 1/20 degree or 5556 meters (metres). In the USA and Great Britain, the league is defined to be 3 statute miles on land, or 3 nautical miles at sea.
