Raban Bar Sauma, a Nestorian Christian, born near Beijing, China in 1220 CE, made a religious and diplomatic pilgrimage to the Pope in Rome and to many of the major royal courts of Western Europe first in 1287. He made the trip, in large part, to rally an alliance between the Christian west and the Mongolian Rulers in the east against their common enemy, the Muslims, now firmly entrenched (and expanding) in the Mideast.
Bar Sauma is often called "The Reverse Marco Polo," acknowledging the famous Dalmatian-Venetian Traveler to the Orient.
Wikipedia.org has further details on the life and significance of Raban Bar Sauma.
