Roger Bacon - Tumblr Posts

okay so I am currently reading NUBIA, ETHIOPIA AND THE CRUSADING WORLD, 1095-1402 by Adam Simmons and WE HAVE A DRAGON SIGHTING:

...in 1267, Roger Bacon continued to discuss dragons flying to Ethiopia from Latin Europe and told how dragon meat was used as a remedy for old age in his influential OPUS MAJUS amongst multiple pages of supposed information on 'Ethiopia'. MIGRATORY DRAGONS! But wait - there's more! Here's the relevant endnote for this passage: The passage regarding dragons being a secret to living a long life and increasing intelligence, which is why 'Ethiopians' come to Latin Europe to fly them back, is on II:211 (Bridges text); II:624 (Burke trans.)

OK so (a) where is my historical Norse fantasy featuring Black dragon riders coming to tame the dragons and ride them home to 'Ethiopia' (not the modern Ethiopia but Nubia, which today is in Sudan) and (b) I have to find out more about this stay tuned
