===The History of the Prester John Legend===
 
From the 12th to 17th centuries, the legends of priest-king Prester John were popular in Europe.  The story captured the imagination of Europeans, who translated it into many languages and embellished upon the original story. What made this story go viral (by medieval standards)? How did the legend influence exploration, European expansion, and exploitation?  Cat Valente has written two Prester John novels, The Habitation of the Blessed and The Folded World, with a third novel forthcoming (hopefully). She has also uploaded a YouTube video, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8lu_A72N10/ Prester John: International Man of Mystery], explaining the history of the medieval legend of Prester John, as told by action figures.
