Marg Dyðan Bennand /mark ty.van bɪ.tn̥ɛːt/ (c.1260 - 2nd September 1332) was a Norjihan explorer, writer, historian and noted mystic who travelled along trade routes around the region of Ekuosia during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. He recorded his travels, what he could learn of the histories of regions, and commentaries and arguments on religion, in his "Arguments Regarding and Against the Nations and the Peoples of This World", which was later to become the popular text "The Peoples of the World". He was marred by accusations of cannibalism following his return from his travels and for the rest of his career.
