Pilgrimage looks at 500 years of Christian pilgrimage, during its heyday of 1066 to 1536, following the main pilgrimage routes to places such as Jerusalem and Rome, Canterbury and Santiago - places that remain a draw for pilgrims 500 years on. In a narrative based on largely undocumented contemporary accounts, Ure brings to life not only a colourful cast of characters, from grandees and scholars seeking status and enlightenment to peasants hoping for escape and rogues doing penance, from the enterprising and the devout to the ambitious. In the Middle Ages, pilgrimage was both the trip of a lifetime and the most hazardous life experience, risking piracy and robbery, highwaymen, slavery, Alpine blizzards and parched deserts, injury, death and disease, leaky transportation, bogus fellow pilgrims and unscrupulous innkeepers.
We put a lot of time and care into our listings and photographs to provide you the information needed for a stress free purchase. You probably won't believe this but my husband spends almost an hour packing your order in the hope that if the mail decides to play football with your parcel, it will stand a few light kicks and is received in the condition described. For this reason we cannot accept any offers until after 2 weeks of listing. I hope you understand, Thanks for your time and interest.
