| Summary: | The lists of the English men and women who stayed at the English Hospice in Rome in the 1480s and in the early sixteenth century offer a micro-view of late medieval society—people who carried out a commitment to make a pilgrimage to Rome. Some hundreds of pilgrims came in these years—mostly laymen, a few women, and a sizable number of clerics of various orders and ranks. For some of these pilgrims there are additional scraps of information: places of origin back in England or Wales, whether they arrived in groups or singly, trades and callings (friar or merchant sailor, etc.), and for many, some information about their health (many noted as "sick"). There is even a bit about some who died while at the hospice, often from the plague. |
