After spending sometime in Rome, eventually Margery is commanded by God to return to her home. She departs Rome with her travelling party who again reiterate the common fear that they may encounter thieves along the journey home. Margery again assures her company that God will protect them during their travels. A little outside of Rome, Margery encounters a young priest whom she had been exchanging letters and decides to accompany her and her ground to Middleburg. I presume to get to Middleburg Netherlands Margery ends up taking the same route she took from England to Italy. Since she does not specify, and since it seems her way of getting to Italy was the common route for pilgrams, I assume she again went North up until Bologna where then she travelled through the Alps along one of the common trails. I assume then again she went up until Konstanz Germany until she got to Middleburg Netherlands. This was the route she took orginally to get to Italy and again seems to be a common route taken, so to me it would make sense for her to just use it again to return home, especially as she is travelling with a large group of people. I also assume her method of travel was the same meaning, she mostly walked and continued to stop in peoples’ homes to eat and sleep just as she did before originally.
When Margery arrives in Middleburg, most of her company initially boards a ship to pass the English channel whilst Margery herself chose to remain in the city a little longer. Eventually she boards a “small ship” to cross the channel where she encounters a large storm, fortunately she arrives in England where she thanks God for getting her through the voyage. Based on how quickly her companions were able to find a ship upon their arrival in the Netherlandsm and how quickly she was able to get a ship after them, makes me believe this is probably some routine ferry / ship route pilgrams and travelers take all the time to get between mainland Europe and England.
Eventually Margery arrives again in Norwich England where she gives reverence to the Trinity just as she did when she initially departed Norwich to make her way to Jerusalem. In Norwich she meets the Vicar of Saint Stephan’s where he asks her about her travels and where she requests again to wear white clothing. She meets a generous man who, after speaking to her about her tales, agrees to pay for her white clothes since she had no money because she donated all of it to the poor while in Italy. She then recieves Holy Communion on Trinity Sunday in her all white clothes.
Eventually her husband makes his way down from Lynn to Norwich and then shortley after the two return together to Lynn. The distance between Lynn and Norwich is rather small with no major rivers in the way so the two would be able to complete the distance hiking within 2-3 days just as she had done when she departed from Lynn to make her way to Norwich and then Jerusalem.
Eventually the two arrive in Lynn where again Margery encounters judgment from her peers and she eventually gets extremely ill. Though Christ assures her she will not die she is so sick she is sure of it. When she eventually recovers she decides she wants to go to Santiago in Spain and she sets out to get the funds from her companions in Lynn. I presume she wants to go to Santiago to visit the remains of St. James which is a popular location for Christian pilgrims
