How many furlong makes up 1 league?

Answer 1

That's difficult to answer with a hard, concise number.

Everybody knows what a 'furlong' is, but the 'league' was never standard, and

has always had different values in different places and at different times.

I'm resisting the temptation to go into the history of the 'league' as a description

of a distance. I'll just mention that most of the online histories kind of circulate

around the often-mentioned suggestion of 3 miles.

If that's true, then . . .

-- 1 furlong = 1/8 mile

-- 1 league = 3 miles (?) = 24 furlongs
