Undoubtedly, Hudson was not the only one who got rich. The nobles who came along saw their wallets swelled as well. Even the common soldiers garnered decent spoils.
Hording war loot, an inescapable vice of a traditional army. Luckily, the soldiers' limited knowledge led them to mainly hoard currency, primarily copper and silver coins.
Even gold coins were only touched by a small number of audacious soldiers. This was the great wisdom of the lowly serfs; for them, enormous wealth was outright disastrous.
To speed up the march, Hudson imposed a limit on the amount of loot each noble could carry home.
The crude measurement unit chosen was the cart: a viscount could not exceed one cart, a baron a quarter of a cart, and a knight a tenth of a cart.
