The following comes from this URL:

www.toildepices.com/index.php?url=/fr/articles/cuisine/mesures.php


Système anglais troy
1 livre - pound (lb.) = 373,328g

Système anglais avoirdupois
1 livre - pound (lb.) = 453.558g

Système français avant "1789"
1 livre (liv.) = 489,5g


There's lots more besides.

Regards, Lawrence.
