Aug 1, 2024 · 9 Min Read. A Pioneering Voyage to the Court of the Great Khan. John of Plano Carpini, also known as Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, was a Franciscan friar and one of the first Europeans to reach the court of the Great Khan, Güyük Khan, in the 13th century.
In his book, Giovanni da Pian del Carpine tells Europe the secrets of the Far East, and was also the first to do so, using a humble but determined voice. Of course it cannot be denied that this name is unknown to most people, while there is a broad knowledge about Marco Polo's feats and travels.
Giovanni is the first Westerner to give the modern names for those rivers. On the Volga stood the Ordu, or camp, of Batu, the famous conqueror of eastern Europe and supreme Mongol commander on the western frontiers of the empire. He was one of the most senior princes of the house of Genghis Khan.
In 1245-1247 John of Plano Carpini (Pian del Carpine) and Benedict the Pole, two Franciscan monks, were sent as envoys of Pope Innocent IV to the Mongol Khan. The monks traveled through the dominions of Khan Batu (ruler of the "Golden Horde") to the vicinity of Karakorum, where they witnessed the proclamation of Güyüg as the new Great Khan.
