The Voyage of the Uí Corra (Part 2)

Detail from a manuscript of Bestiaire d'Amour, ca. 1290 (Morgan Library, MS M.459 fol. 18r).

This episode we finally enter the open ocean with the Uí Corra and their fellow pilgrims as they explore strange new lands, seek out new afterlives and new sects, and boldly go where many other saints and heroes of Irish legend have gone before.
