No. Everyone was Catholic in Europe and people didn't travel outside Europe until the late 1400's so there were no missionaries needed.

This is incorrect. There were missionaries who left Europe and traveled to establish missions among the Tartars, a successful mission in Peking (1300's). Areas of Europe still had not been converted or held onto old beliefs. There was a large Muslim population in Spain during the Medieval period. Not everyone was Catholic - there were Cathars, Waldenses, Orthodox, Jewish.

People did travel outside of Europe (Marco Polo ring any bells?). Trade, missionaries, early explorers - the continent didn't sit around the fire pit roasting chicken legs waiting for the Renaissance. It was a busy time.

AnswerThere were a lot of medieval missionaries both within Europe and to other parts of the world. St. Patrick well known as the missionary to the Irish. St. Augustine of Canterbury was the missionary to the English. St. Columba was the missionary to the people of Scotland. St. Adalbert of Prague was a missionary to the people of the Baltic region. The Eastern Orthodox Church also had its missionaries, such as St. Cyril, after whom the Cyrillic alphabet was named, who was a missionary to Russia, along with his brother, St. Methodius. There are many examples, too many to count, and nearly all Europe outside the borders of the old Roman Empire had missionaries.
