It's well over 100 miles - there would have been far more woodland to traverse, and no roads to speak of.
tbf - it isn't shown how long it takes... but the character leaves and injured Abbot with no apparent sustainence (ie no water) then brings Cadfael back to tend to him (so a round trip). You'd know better than me, but an old, bleeding man would probably be dead of exposure or dehydration within a couple of days wouldn't he? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Round trip would be outrageous, yes. But one way taking fresh horses en route, nothing special.
For the wounded, depends. Plently of accounts of people lingering on for days on the battlefields with absolutely jack **** beyond a stark refusal to die. From which we may conclude they were a) ****in' nails, and b) not half as religious as they're made out to be.
