For a long time, the Middle Ages was quite poor in written documents. However, letters were the basis of communication over long distances. Nobles, clergy, scholars, everyone had to communicate and messengers were needed for this. What is a messenger actually? Who does he work for? What does he earn? How many letters are actually sent like this? I will be looking into all of these questions with my guest Holger Heid, who has made this very topic the focus of his historical presentation.
