Summary
"This book examines why medieval Europeans traveled--from making pilgrimages to engaging in international trade--and surveys how they traveled, both by land and water. Also explored are the hardships faced by medieval travelers, including storms at sea, avalanches in the Alps, the presence of pirates and robbers, and the fundamental problems of finding a meal and shelter"--Provided by publisher.
