Europeans in Medieval China

Europeans in Medieval China were those in China during the second half of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century (from 1246 to around 1350), during the rule of the Mongol Empire, which ruled over a large part of Eurasia and connected Europe with their Chinese dominion of the Yuan Dynasty.〔The term ‘''Medieval China''’ is mainly used by historians of Universal History. The dates between 585 (Sui) to 1368 (Yuan) comprise the medieval period in Chinese history. Historians of Chinese history call this period the "Chinese Imperial Era", which began after the unification of the seven kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). With the Ming Dynasty, the early modern era began.〕
It is thought that thousands of Europeans lived in medieval China under Mongol rule.〔Roux, p.465〕 Mainly located in Eastern Central Asia, in places such as the Mongol capital of Karakorum, European missionaries and merchants traveled around the Mongol realm during a period of time referred to by historians as the "Pax Mongolica". The most famous European visitor to China during this period was Marco Polo.
==Background==
Before the 13th century, instances of Europeans going to China or of Chinese going to Europe are virtually unknown〔 except for the Roman embassies in China in the 3rd and 4th centuries.Nevertheless, Byzantine Greek historian Procopius does state that two Nestorian Christian monks eventually uncovered the way of how silk was made. From this revelation monks were sent by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (ruled 527 - 565) as spies on the Silk Road from Constantinople to China and back to steal the silkworm eggs.This resulted in silk production in the Mediterranean, particularly in Thrace in northern Greece,〔("Silk Road" ), LIVIUS Articles of Ancient History. 28 October 2010. Retrieved on 14 November 2010.〕 and giving the Byzantine Empire a monopoly on silk production in medieval Europe until the loss of its territotires in S.Italy.
