Edward Webbe
Edward Webbe was Chief Master Gunner of England, and during the latter half of the sixteenth century, he and his army embarked upon a journey throughout the Holy Land, Egypt, Greece, Russia and 'the land of Prester John.' Like Mandeville and other travel writers before him, Webbe extended his own travels with embellishment.
It does not seem certain that Webbe was a real person and, like Mandeville, could have been a fictional personage.
