About Me

I am Sire John Mandeville, knyght, though that I be unworthi. I was born in the ryght plesaunt citee of St Albans in Hertfordshire, and whan I had but xv wynteres age I passed the see. For xx yeeres I travelled the whole erthe. I was in the servyce of the sultan in Egypt; I saw the risyng sun in the Japanese ysles; I was att the court of Prester John, the most hooly emperour. Of all of these aventures I have ywritten into a book, The Travels of John Mandeville, the which is a hot-seller to say the leest.
