What could inspire a man or woman in the Middle Ages to leave behind the security of a familiar community to face dire peril? This book investigates the motives of the pilgrim, the society enjoyed by a company of traveling pilgrims and, in particular, the routes they took to one of Catholic Europe's holiest destinations, Bardsey Island. The author successfully interweaves history, religion, myth and legend into an engrossing and highly readable volume.
