Norwegian land measurement - What is the meaning of lpd?
I have come across this several times recently. Here lpd is used multiple times in a sentence.
In 1615 Finn bought 10 lpd in Heberg from Nils Olsen (formerly at Li). In 1615, Amund Heberg was the owner of 22 1/2 lpd in Heberg, 30 lpd in Stenberg in Romedal, 16 lpd in Bretten in Romedal and 2 1/2 lpd in a farm called 'Stemmerud' (probably Steinerud in Ullern).

I was partially able to answer my own question.
lpd = lispund
lispund = old unit of weight: 8.502 kg (20 cup pounds)
New question - the value of 1 lpd = 8.5 kg of ? (butter, some type of grain, ?)
