The ultimate home was a destination. Christian culture up to the nineteenth century was largely concerned with destinations, and the destination of course was union with God. It was only then that people began to be deeply concerned with origins. Prior to the nineteenth century, except for a very small elite who were concerned with their pedigrees and their genealogies, very few people were concerned with origins. Home was not strictly the household or even the neighborhood, but a territory to come back to.
Territory is a good name for it.
Today, we talk about gangs defending territories, their turf. That is the way most people regarded home in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. When people got homesick, it was not for a particular house, a particular location, or even for their family place of origin. They were homesick for a territory, for a landscape. Home today means one exclusive place.
