This work details the adventures and experiences of Johann Schiltberger, a Bavarian who was captured by the Turks and spent many years in their service, traversing various regions of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The book provides a unique perspective on medieval society, warfare, and the author's observations as he navigated through different cultures and conflicts during his captivity. At the start of the narrative, Schiltberger introduces himself, recounting how he left his home near Munich in 1394 to follow his master, Leonard Richartinger, only to be taken prisoner after the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396. He vividly describes the battle details, the pride and folly exhibited by different lords, and the aftermath of defeat, where many prisoners are executed while he, due to his youth, is spared and subsequently becomes a servant to the victorious Turkish king, Weyasit. The opening portions set the stage for his extensive travels and encounters with various cultures, hinting at the rich tapestry of experiences and adventures that follow throughout his life as a captive.
