      Matthew Paris's 13th-century account of the capture of an Englishman who acted as envoy for the Mongols during their European invasion c.1241 is also interesting—he had lost everything gambling at Acre, Israel, and then travelled east & joined the Mongols: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/03/an-eleventh-century-chinese-coin.html …pic.twitter.com/F4PZu2BVKD

      TEXT: "The Prince of Dalmatia took prisoner an Englishman... This man had twice come as an envoy and interpreter from the king of Tattars [Mongols] to the king of Hungary, and plainly threatened and warned them of the evils which afterwards happened, unless he should give up himself and his kingdom to be subject to the Tattars."

      Worth noting that around 2,000 Northern Song coins are recorded from sites west of Sri Lanka too; I've mapped them here based primarily on Cribb & Potts 1996, with additions.pic.twitter.com/3q77htBlta
