      There's also some evidence that a Chinese stonemason worked on Norwich Cathedral in the Middle Ages. @gildencraft

      There were also a number of Mongol envoys in Europe & Britain in the 13th–14thC, see https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/835585739442245632 … :)

      Map of Europe, Africa and Asia, showing a gradual west to east spread in an awareness of Britain's existence from c. 600 BC (southern France) to the early fourteenth century AD (China).

      Likewise the Englishman who was the Mongol envoy to Hungary c.1241; lost everything gambling in Acre, Israel, then went east+joined Mongols…pic.twitter.com/Eu34KimGry

      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.

      Fascinating, isn't it...! Apparently picked up by the Mongols in West Asia specifically for his language skills...

          And it's way too early for Mongols in the #Levant.Which means that he must have traveled at least as far as #Azerbaijan to actually meet any

          Yes, he was clearly very well-travelled! Wonder how many others there too who don't get recorded by chance...? :)
