Moving through time
Dante Alighieri, exiled from Florence, spent these years writing the Divine Comedy while Europe's bankers financed kings and the papacy moved to Avignon in 1309. In Scotland, Robert the Bruce murdered a rival in a church in 1306 and raised the country in revolt within weeks.
Dante set his journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise in the year 1300. The poem itself is in the catalogue, and the film Robert the Bruce picks up the Scottish king's story in 1306. Open the 1300s on the StoryTerra map and explore its stories by place.
