Description

Jonathan Sumption explores the traditions of pilgrimage prevalent in Europe from the beginning of Christiantiy to the end of the 15th century. Describing such major destinations as Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostella and Canterbury, he examines both major figures - popes, kings, queens, scholars, villains - and the common folk of their day. With sympathy he evokes their achievements and failures, and addresses the question of what motivated such extraordinary quests.

Author Biography:

Jonathan Sumption is the author of Pilgrimage and The Albigensian Crusade, as well as the first four volumes in his celebrated history of the Hundred Years War - Trial by Battle, Trial by Fire, Divided Houses and Cursed Kings. He was awarded the 2009 Wolfson History Prize for Divided Houses.
