      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.

          Interestingly, late medieval English coins were apparently carried as far afield as Vietnam too...: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=T7Jl6LgZSVUC&pg=PA2&lpg=PA2#v=onepage&q&f=false … (p.2 & fn.10)

          Would you measure their journey in years. Would they have gone overland?
