Ingulfus served as secretary to William the Conqueror before undertaking a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. His observations of the journey from Normandy to Jerusalem provide valuable historical testimony about medieval travel and the conditions of pilgrimage routes during his time.
Description
A man of scholarly bearing with dark hair and a complexion weathered by extensive travel. His build is average, neither imposing nor frail, and his eyes carry the observant quality of one trained to record and remember. He wears simple traveling robes appropriate for long journeys, practical rather than ornate.
