You forgot one female explorer: Travelling Feminist: Gudridur Thorbjarnardottir Gudridur Thorbjarnardottir* was the most travelled woman in the middle ages. Born in Iceland around the year 980, she travelled to Greenland, then on to North America, where she had a son, and then back to Greenland with her husband and son. Not content with that, she decided to go on a pilgrimage to Rome, where she met the Pope, before retiring to the church to live as a nun. penguinunearthed.wordpress/2011/08/10/travelling-feminist-gudridur-thorbjarnardottir/
