What is a league (statute)?

A league (statute) is a historical unit of length equal to three statute miles, used mainly in English-speaking countries for overland and coastal distances.

Why does the length of a long reed vary?

The long reed was a traditional local unit whose exact length changed depending on locality and historical period, leading to variations in its measurement.

Can I use this converter for modern measurements?

No, both league (statute) and long reed are obsolete units; this tool is intended for historical and archival research, not modern measurement standards.
