All roads lead to Rome

With the death of  Thomas Becket, people make the pilgrimage to Canterbury where he was buried. Canterbury is the starting  point of  the Via Francigena, a medieval route of trade and pilgrimage. But the route was born by the Archbishop of  Canterbury Sigeric The Serious, that in 990 went to Rome to meet  the Pope. On his return  to Canterbury he noted all of his steps. And so the Via Francigena runs from Canterbury to Rome.
