Abstract | The ceaseless itineration of England's medieval monarchs is well documented, but their subjects were just as mobile. Shedding new light on the pilgrimage route to the shrine of St Godric of Finchale; the itinerary of Humphrey de Bohun, England's hereditary constable, in one of the most tumultuous years of King Henry III's reign (1258), and the correspondence of Roger Martival, bishop of Salisbury, these papers will show how the highways and byways were the lifeblood of medieval England between the 12th and 14th centuries. |
