Saewulf

Sæwulf was probably the first English (Anglo-Saxon) pilgrim to Jerusalem following its conquest in the First Crusade. His Latin written account of his pilgrimage, Relatio de situ Ierusalem , tells of an arduous and dangerous journey; and Sæwulf's descriptive narrative provides scholars brief but significant insight into sea travel across the Mediterranean to the new Kingdom of Jerusalem that was established soon after the end of the First Crusade.
