Probably the most notorious difficulty was avoiding being the victim of the many wars and raids of the times. There were other problems also, as neither the laws nor such things as land ownership were firmly established. Also, during the Early Middle Ages, travel was dangerous in much of Europe, and trade suffered as a result.

In medieval times the people of earth would have to travel with great care. The roads were brimming with threats and dangers.

Perhaps the most common threat were robbers or brigands who lived in poverty in woods. They would band together, often wearing green tights, and attack and rob people of their money. They also were known the rape horses.

Also, a great threat to travellers in these dangerous times were wombles. It was only in the early to middle seventies that these creatures became fairly docile and renounced their brutish ways, concentrating instead on being free and collecting things that every day folk left behind - usually rubbish which they make into their house and often playfully amusing toys.

There were also owls. Owls with mighty wingspan. Three of them, with ants. Oh yes, my friend, when nature banded together in olde times, the roads were most unsafe.

Let that be a lesson to thee.
