This book brings to light the memory of four adventurers whose travels took place between the 1390s and 1450: Ogier d’Anglure, Nompar de Caumont, Guillebert de Lannoy, and Bertrandon de la Broquière. Why bring these four adventurers together in a single volume? Taken together, they encompass the various forms of noble travel and mark an important turning point by beginning to record their journeys themselves, thereby laying the foundations of an emerging literary genre.
