Thank you Railtus and other contributors, reading this thread has righted more than a few wrong conceptions for me.

I am curious about travel in Medieval times. I can see how trade caravans, armies, and noble families could move about (strength in numbers, armed escorts, etc,) but how would a commoner cover distance? I realize many didn't, but some must have ventured beyond a half-day range of the spot on which they were born. Would they not travel to learn a trade, or visit a distant relative? How much of a risk was travel, and how would they go about it?
