They should redo a mini series on all these cases with updates using new technology. Or they can start a new global series, where they go around the world in search of cold cases
The Norwich case was in the news a few months ago. Further generic investigation proves definitely that the bodies were Jewish, which then allowed them to finally receive a decent burial.
An additional possibility ( confirmed by many other records ) is that sailors on these long journeys abroad sometimes died on the way, got into fights & were killed in arguments or, died in skirmishes on land. Captains needed to have a full compliment of crew, and were quite well known to use any methods to obtain sturdy individuals willing to join the crew. These new crew members would of course be recruited at the ports they visited & could be Portuguese Spanish or indeed any race colour or creed capable & willing. Being residents of the ports they would most probably be individuals already having sea & sailing experience, & therefore already suited for the job. It was of necessity incumbent on Captains because trying to manage a vessel in storms while lacking sufficient crew, invariably endangered all.
14:35 I'm hugely excited by this. The excellent Shardlake historical//crime book series has a continuing character who came from North Africa to a monastery in Tudor England. His parents had converted to Christianity when he was a very young boy. I don't think I've ever had a book "come to life" for me like this. I actually thought the character was a bit far fetched, coming from North Africa, becoming a monk, then after the dissolution of the monasteries becoming an apothecary. And yet here he is!
Just discovered your channel….absolutely brilliant! I was hooked and engaged in the first 5 minutes. I love things that challenge my preconceptions. Thank you for your work.
Hey I want to give you a big shout out I love your videos I like watching all about history & where different people come from & why or how people lived & died
make me remember of the knights hospitaliers of Malta .. the region, the knights , the crusades, the route and maybe the physiognomy of the general Mediterranean area great eppisode
Watching this now and I am surprised that it is assumed that the skeleton was a Muslim man who converted. There were Christian churches in Africa in this time period and earlier and evidence of Africans in Europe as merchant, traders, visitors. Even Christian pilgrims. It is very possible the man was already Christian when he came to England.
Of course. The original issue of the crusades was to protect Christian churches and monasteries in the Middle East. There were many more Christian locals there than now.
Had you listened, they very clearly stated there was “a documented case...” . It goes on to say there is no way of knowing the exact origins or reasons. If people listened more, instead of jumping to conclusions, a lot more learning would occur.
@@suzanh7777 it has been some time since I've seen this, but "a documented case" does not mean "in this case". As the presence of Jew, Christian and Muslim people are documented in Africa at this point in history, assuming that this particular individual's religious choice was Muslim is exactly that- an assumption. First lesson in learning, question assumptions.
Unfortunately it’s old and the redhead woman didn’t want to in the first place but her school was paid enough that her opinion didn’t matter sadly. And Xanthe Mallett is now living and working in Australia and is on tv there. But hope it comes back with other people!
I'm a bit baffled by the scientist researching the y-chromosomes... surely the passing down of y-chromosomes doesn't necessarily align with the line of surnames. All it takes is one single illegitimate child to overthrow the correlation of all previous generations entirely. But he does state the given link between surname and y-chromosome twice. I'm assuming he probably brought that nuance to the conversation, but it was cut by editors?
My first thought was a North African who possibly converted to christianity during the crusades, and returned as a loyal friend to England with a crusader.
People got around all throughout history. So interesting to learn about it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m so thankful people have maintained so many records over the centuries, payment records, etc.
I have been finding these episodes very interesting however I find I much prefer the narration in Season 1 (Lawrence Fox) to the narrator in Season 2. The timbre is deeper and seems more serious and intense....plus I've always liked Lawrence Fox's voice and diction...I missed it in Season 2. I would love to see more episodes. Any chance of that happening? There aren't enough of them.
Ok... @ 38:00 -- Is it mitochondrial DNA from mom's side that he has examined to point to the Mediterranean? Father could still be sub-saharan. Physical appearance could still be sub-saharan....
@21:00 John Black, "Henry's favourite trumpeter" wrote* a letter asking for a payrise. He said he was being paid less than the previous musician in his position and asked for the raise, plus back pay....and got it! He is also on record as receiving a wedding present from Henry VIII. So it's evident he was treated no differently than the other trumpeters. It's ironic since that was a time we view as hugely intolerant; it definitely was in matters of class, gender, and religion but racially there was no divide. *Using a scribe, as most people did back then.
The heritage point can be overstated. There are many people in Iceland with Native American maternal DNA. That does probably not indicate a very noticeable Native American presence in Iceland. A perhaps more plausible -- but certainly very tantalising -- hypothesis would be that Icelanders (and probably Greenlanders) "acquired" wives not only in Ireland but also in America. Which in itself might indicate that there was a bit more coming-and-going in the North Atlantic than one might have thought. Similarly, there is likely to have been more of that thing along the Atlantic sea-board more generally.
The parish records of Hertfordshire list people of African origin living there in the 1500s...i believe one was a victualer meaning he ran a pub and he was married to a.local lady.
Sufferers of Asthma should transfer to live in Ipswitch,even while I was only staying in Ipswitch over a weekend a few months ago,I never used my blue pump,the air there is much more breathable than anywhere else😉
21:52 He says "the word Moor by itself means black" Er, no it doesn't mean that at all. It means Muslim. A Moor is an old English word to refer to a Muslim. Blackamoor means a Muslim who has black or dark skin.
I thought the same thing but I looked it up and apparently Moor on its own was also used to refer to Africans/black people not just Muslims. He's a historian so I'm sure he knows more than we do
@@WeavesWorldGlasgowGlaschu wrong, that was, like Christianity, imposed upon them. There was a lot more villages in those days and they had their own beliefs. Not Islam or Christianity. And many if not most, still do.
I wonder if the people living in those apartments know they're living on top of what was once a medieval burial site? Think that would make me a tad uneasy that things might start going "bump" in the night.
I don't think that finding a skeleton from a sub saharin region is necessarily uncommon. Trade could be the reason. The Romans used ships to transport just about everything. Ships would have come and gone to and from England all the time. The Gibraltar strait is narrower than the distance between Calais and Dover. The Spanish fought against (what they would have been known as) Moors all the time. Ipswich stands on the estuary of the river Orwell, about twelve miles from the sea. It is one of England's oldest towns, with evidence of a Roman settlement in the area.
I work in a antibiotic IV outpatient department in a hospital and to see all these people coming in with abscesses/infections like what killed this man is just wow. I used to use this how to teach medical assistants
I had gotten my DNA done and I'm 71% English, Irish,Scottish, Welsh, swedish and 1% African western (?) congo, banitu regions, DNA summary says mother's side, I'm so curious but have no clue on how to start. Any info would be appreciated

Could this man already be Christian and fighting on the crusades and got a house and when he gets home he has trouble walking and gets helped by the Monk's until his death and his buried with the rest of the very ill people who probably in like an hospital run by the Monk's? It makes sense!
You are correct. As the person who wrote the original report on the skeletons in 2009, I can confirm that the abscess in the spine of this individual had already been spotted well before this programme was made!
@@suea5942 Why then would they set it up so it was a mistake? Sue Black seems a person of ethics and doesn't seem to be one who would follow a scripted storyline.
Not necessarily the nasil cavity is very difficult to presume ethnic origin and can mainly only be used to determine age.(Not all africans have large nasil cavities hes most likely mixed with northern africa and some kind of southern europe)
Why would it be so very strange to find people from all over the place (including, of course, Africa which isn't that far away by sea) in a trading place like Ipswich? I don't think it's really useful to refer to physical characteristics as "ethnicity". Ethnicity is more properly used to designate cultural groups. Hence we can talk of "ethnogenesis" as a social phenomenon.
There are disused Synagogues and Churches all over northern Africa. These popularions were expelled in 1948 by a pan Arab reaction to the manner in which Muslim Palestinians were expelled by Jewish Palestinians just before the creation of the modern state of Israel. These people are assuming the Moors engaged in ethnic cleansing and bexause someone is from northern Africa is Muslim. The Muslim rules did tax Jews and Christians but they also accommodated them. It's always useful ro have fringe dwellers who can compensate for the dusabling taboos imposed by majority religions.
I’m surprised this show wasn’t longer lived. So very interesting.
I think there should be several parts to this story.
I don't think they did more than 1 season. I wish there were more.

An additional possibility ( confirmed by many other records ) is that sailors on these long journeys abroad sometimes died on the way, got into fights & were killed in arguments or, died in skirmishes on land.
