Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems
Both the
imperial
and
United States customary
systems of measurement
derive from earlier
English systems
used in the Middle Ages, that were the result of a combination of the local
Anglo-Saxon
units inherited from German tribes and
Roman units
brought by
William the Conqueror
after the
Norman Conquest of England
in 1066.
