In Jen's Consequences of Attraction (ch. 12) she writes "The trip from Poitiers to Nottinghamshire took three and a half weeks". That's just from France. I remember asking her how she came to this conclusion and it seemed quite right when I compared it to the information I got from here:
Quote from that site: "For overland travel by foot or horse, given good and predictable terrain (including a road or clear track) with few elevation changes, you can make about 30 miles (about 50 kilometers) per day, assuming that travel is mainly what you're doing (9-12 hours on the road)."
Walking 30 miles every day seems really tough, but people were more used to walking then (I don't know about Queens, though ;)).
