context_page_description: Symon Semeonis was a 14th-century Irish Franciscan friar and author.
context_section_description: Fitzsimons describes a detailed itinerary. Starting from Clonmel, he does not say how he left Ireland, but the fact that he enters Wales at Holyhead makes his departing via Dublin a near-certainty; even today, Dublin–Holyhead is an active ferry route. From Clonmel, the road went north to Roscrea, and then Fitzsimons could follow the Slighe Dála ("Way of the Assembly") east to Abbeyleix, and then northeastwards through Naas, Tallaght and Dublin.
  From Holyhead, his party continued eastwards across North Wales. They then followed Watling Street down through England to Canterbury, leaving via Dover — not to Calais, but to Wissant. They continued south across France to Paris, then down the Seine to Châtillon, crossing overland to Beaune and then down the Saône and Rhône to Marseilles.
