Are medieval cross-continental networks just too hard to imagine without study of period, based on the popular image of it, perhaps? Yet Bede got hold of his pepper & they must have got the 1000+ lbs of spices for Hedwig's wedding from somewhere! ;) ;)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/1031849857315680256 …
