Wow. According to my Early Middle Ages reading, in the year 816 it took the pope 50 days to get from Rheims, France to Rome. Google says it's 1444 km or 897 miles, which is about a 13-14 hour drive. OMG.
I am having a total history orgasm. Yale makes me sad for hardly offering any classes on the Middle Ages. They don't even have a "Medieval Studies" major, which many other colleges do. :(
