Carpini traveled to the East, over 770 years ago. What was the final destination of his mission - Tatarstan or China? At that time, present-day Mongolia and the surrounding territories up to the Bering Strait were called Tataria. He set out on his journey with Benedict from Poland and Stephen from Bohemia. Benedict was an interpreter and assistant Carpini. Benedict, by the way, himselfleft a description of the history of their diplomatic mission, impressions about the organization of life and life in Mongolia. However, his book "On the Journey of the Lesser Brothers to the Tatars" was published only in 1839.
