Medieval Traveller
How did people travel in the middle ages? They set out even on major journeys with a confidence which argues the existence of a network of major routes and minor tracks, the arteries by which new ideas entered Europe's fast-changing civilisation: the knowledge brought back by travellers played an important part in the development of the medieval world. Evidence shows that despite all the likely deterrents - danger from man and beast, uncertainty of lodging and food, even the basic matter of finding the way - our medieval ancestors moved about far more than we might expect.
Norbert Ohler lets the travellers speak for themselves, and from the many sources builds up a picture of what travel was really like.
