Explanation:
Two of the early Venetian merchants to make it to the court of Kublai Khan were a pair of brothers named Niccolò and Maffeo Polo. According to legend, Kublai Khan received the brothers and was interested in their description of Christianity. Kublai allowed for a high degree of religious freedom in his empire as long as conquered people submitted themselves to his rule. He asked the Polo brothers to return to Europe and send 100 people from the Vatican to explain Christianity and discuss the possibility of introducing it in China (with submission to Kublai as their emperor).

Niccolò and Maffeo made it back to Venice around 1269. When they left again for China in 1271, Niccolò brought his son, Marco. Marco Polo would have been a teenager at the time, finally reaching Kublai's court when he was around 20 years old. For the next 17 years, Marco Polo lived in China with his father and uncle. We really don't know everything that happened during this time, but Kublai seems to have taken a deep interest in young Marco. The Venetian was educated in Kublai's court, learned Chinese and Mongolian customs, and actually became one of Kublai's favored diplomats. As an emissary of the Mongol emperor, Marco Polo travelled across China conducting diplomatic missions for Kublai. He had arrived in China as a foreigner, but came to be a member of Chinese society under the Mongols.
