Has there ever been a fantasy novel...

Probably most of the ones written in the non-English-speaking world, I would imagine.

Excluding urban/modern fantasy, the German ones I can think of tended to use measures like paces, cubits, handspans... a day's march... I know the biggest German pen&paper RPG used kilometres and metres, but renamed them to mile and pace.

It's that olden-timesy feeling, y'know.

According to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheMetricSystemIsHereToStay
futuristic science fiction tends to use metric while futuristic fantasy novels do not.

I feel like I've read one but I don't remember what.
