Marco Polo

What now, Maruko?

In Marco Polo's travelogue, the The Travels of Marco Polo,

The prologue described that the entourage was tasked by the pope to deliver an official letter to Kublai Khan.

However

Later generations pointed out that this was inconsistent with the papal records

Well, if we made you think that we're delivering a letter from His Holiness

then we can do without you getting all horny, you being at this age and all!!
