The itinerary of Louis VII's journey to Constantinople

Summary:
For the benefit of future pilgrims, Odo of Deuil set out Louis VII's itinerary in a schematic way, with an indication of the time required for sections of the journey. Metz - Worms (3 days), - Wurzburg (3 days), - Ratisbon (Regensburg) (3 days), - Passau (3 days), - Klosterneuburg (5 days), - Hungarian border (1 day), Hungary (15 days) - Belgrade, - Brandiz, (1 day) - Nis (4 days), - Hesternis (Sofia) (4 days), - Philippopolis (4 days), - Adrianople (4 days), - Constantinople (5 days). [The journey times have been regarded as impossibly short, perhaps reflecting Odo's predictions for an ideal crusading army]
