You don't think? So if you lived back in that time and were king of the land how would you keep people from leaving your controled lands? Would you educate them on everywhere else they could go or would you scare them into not even considering going there for fear of falling off the Earth?

About this map shit.
""New Danish research shows that large parts of Greenland were covered by forest. This was discovered by analysing fossil DNA which had been preserved under the kilometre-thick icecap.
The DNA-traces are likely close to 450,000 years old""
To stop people leaving controlled lands? Other than they having home, fields, etc. at there, or with using force? Also, I don't think that they teached that the edge starts right after the lord's lands. The people were not that stupid.
And to where the people would have gone? I mean, there were lords everywhere, if you mean escaping them. To some never never land? Also, based on the "Great migration", some people did actually migrate, but not because their lord forgot to warn about the edge.
