# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Giovanni da Pian del Carpine was born around 1185 in medieval Italy and became a Franciscan friar. Dispatched as a diplomat and explorer, he journeyed deep into Mongol territory and entered the court of the Great Khan — among the first Europeans to do so. What he saw there became the earliest important Western description of North and Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and the vast Mongol dominion. In 1247 he was named Primate of Serbia, based in Antivari, a post he held until his death on 1 August 1252. His account opened a window onto a world the West had only feared from a distance.
