We'd best to start with the lecture then. He begins with a claim to evidence and commences from a place of inference instead. (often rooted in misinterpretation to boot). To use the modern parlance, this "PhD" is goofy to the max - ahistorical twaddle.
The word Stuart comes from the old nordish root Svart which means black. Stuart is the same word as Swarthy, which means black in old English. There was once a Stuart line of Kings in England. The name of the founding ancestor was Stuart which means Black man.
The idea that there were a tiny few black people in medieval England can not be extrapolated out to mean " Africans are integral to English history" and so what anyway, all people have history. It doesn't matter what colour you are. Most people in England would have never left their village, The Iberian peninsular would have been like the dark side of the moon
@@idratherbeaphilthanajustin9533 There were, merchants, settlers and corsairs among the Barbary states(usually renegades who converted to Islam and joined the corsairs in order to escape slavery in North Africa), but most of all, European slaves. Well over a million taken from Europe into North Africa between 1580 and 1680 alone.
If only Hegel had known that, he would never had said that Africans were a people without history. The lecturer never said Africans are integral to English history. He said that people of African descent were an everyday part of that history. You might want to ask what emotions lead you to misunderstand or overstate what the lecturer said.
When the Romans arrived in Britannia, they said black/people of colour were already here! Many of the white Brits are fairly recent immigrants to these Isles! Just like modern day Arabs are recent to Egypt and aren't the ancient Egyptians. DNA/GENETICS do not lie. White history in Britannia doesn't go that far back, simply because they haven't been here too long!
Don't you know that according to woke politics, a few anecdotal examples and deliberately misleading conflation of races, ethnicities and geographies is more than enough to disprove the overwhelming evidence and historical consensus.
@@chrisper94 doomsday book not books. There is a large volume and small volume of the one manuscript. And there is absolutely no mention of black people in the book.
29:12 Visigoths and vandals were not part of the population of the UK. Maybe as a super minority, but never as the ruling class. This presentation is not worth your time.
As a seafaring nation of course there were black people/sailors or hired help that worked in or around the docks? To suggest black people made even 1% of the population before the 1980s is ludicrous? Most people who are in their 50s/60s born outside London probably never saw a black person growing up? Attempting to create a history that isn't there is laughable!!
I was brought up in Liverpool and didn't see a black person till I was in senior school in the 90s west Derby school we had one black lad in the whole school.
@@Aksamsons Really, so what do we miss??? That England before recent immigration did NOT resemble the American South in any way????????? Spare us all the BS, kid!!
That's way before anyone was born in the 60s. Go read the Jacobite Gleanings by John Mackay and see the thousands of black people from the Jacobite wars being transported to the colonies in 1745
So, the point of this is: an extremely small minority of sub-Saharan people existed in Europe. Their largest presence was being 10% (possibly) of one city in the region of Europe the Moors (a mixed population btw) conquered, and their impact on the rest of Europe was so minor we don't register they were there.
You don't register that they were here because Europe, like most of its citizenry, wants to forget that there were people of African decent in many parts of Europe. Do yourself a favour and read a book. The History of the Scottish Islands published in the 1700's mentions "native" people living on some of the islands with dark/black skin. Read about the moors and all the things they brought to Spain/Portugal and the rest of Europe. There are many Spanish words that have Arabic origins. Stop being lazy and ignorant.
@@ejadadi yes Arabic origins because the Moors were mostly of Arab/Levant stock. What book about black people in Scotland? You'll have to link that than some vague book from hundreds of years ago. The part of Europe I'm from you will literally never see a person of colour unless you go to a tourist spot. The reality is poc were there (Moors, Huns, Mongols) but played an extremely minor to non-existent role, apart from being invading enemies for the people of Europe. Also, we dont want to forget anything. I think you're desperately trying to overplay their relevance. Even today in England, a very diverse European country. There is a 7% Asian and 3% black population. And that's from the British commonwealth, not some "medieval black and Asian European group". In Germany it's less, unless you count Turks. And across the continent even less than that.
@@greendalf123 UK, France, Germany have the highest number when it comes to diversity. Last count was around 27% in germany. The contries it self are not that diverse, it's mostly trading hubs that are very diverse. Hence forth cities like London, Hamburg, Cologne, Paris, etc are divers, than a back end country side of any country. Same goes for any other city/country.
@@servalous Germany is 75% Germans with other European minorities being the second most prevalent at ~13%. Asians (mostly Turks) being ~9%. North Africans ~2% and Sub-Saharan Africans less than 1%... Don't know if other Europeans are considered a diversity element, they seem to be lumped all into one group. At least in north america. France has a small but notable north African segment, and a small but notable mixed segment. And yes of course any major city will have the most foreign elements.
@@ejadadi the Moors were Arab caliphates that conquered mesopotamia Syria then Egypt and the Maghreb They ruled different parts of Iberia at different times and never all at once and the last.two centuries only held Grenada. They had a minor influence on Europe as a whole. They didn't get past the northern kingdoms of Castile and Aragon and Leon and Asturias And only one caliphate was Berber ruled and lasted the least amount of time. The Berbers were integrated into the Umayyad caliphate after they were conquered and before that they were under the rule of the Visigoths and the Romans before then. The Berbers tried to revolt In the Maghreb after the Iberian invasion and an army was sent from Baghdad to quell the revolt before it spread to Iberia The Moors is Arab history and Arab rule every caliphate ruler was an Arab the main power base was Damascus the capital was Baghdad They didn't conquer europe they conquered the Iberian peninsula of southern Europe The holy Roman empire ruled Europe at that time and it was the Franks who stopped the Muslim expansion from attempting to invade europe ever again What ever their achievements were they belong to Arabs not north Africans who were simply swept up in the Muslim campaign. It was actually Greek and Roman Culture that had a bigger influence on Arabs than they did on Europeans The Arabs had all the Greek and Roman literature translated and in some cases expanded on the mathematical scientific and philosophical works of the Greeks and Romans The infrastructure and irrigation systems they found in Iberia were the Romans and they kept them and improved them where they could. Arabic words in Spanish are words of things Arabs introduced they are loan words They didn't alter the language in any significant way When invaders leave significant influence you end up with places like south America and north America and Africa were Spanish English and Portuguese and french became official languages Where names replaced indigenous names. Arabs had that impact on Africa not Europe Same as Europe did on africa and the Americas The original comment is correct that the Arab invasion of Iberia wasn't hardly noticed because Europe was far busier with other things like the various civil wars in the holy Roman empire and the eastern Roman empire and the battle for Britain and the holy crusades.

I was interested to see how many blacks were in England during the Middle Ages and to know their stories. This lecture was not informative. He took 30 minutes, just over half of his time, to mention one black person in England.
You know, I almost suggested some books. But this is such a snide comment. I can think of at least three books that talk about Africans in England and Scotland duing the late medieval period. But can just google them. It's not difficult to find if you're not 'lazy'
@@stephfoxwell4620 well, according to contemporary sources 10-15k African descendents lived in England in the 1780s. So, your incorrect. Plus that not what he said. Were you listening ?
@@bl00dhoney what books? Let me guess is one of them by macritchie ? Archival evidence shows records of 360 African people between 1500 to 1640. That's 360 over 140 years.
A very interesting spin on history, but too many mistakes to be taken seriously, I'm afraid. Even the most basic historian acknowledges that The Moors were north African Muslims from the Maghreb.
Don't jump to conclusions. I'm sure he'll do a video about the vibrant g@y Eskimo population in Londinium who's descendants built all the places and created a space program.
How was it possible to hide Africans of significant numbers in England? This significant number I imagine would survive well into the 20th century. I suppose the Windrush generation would have met this significant well rooted significant African population when they arrived. This significant African population with such a long history should be doing exceptionally well in England. Possibly out performing the recent Asian and Caribbean arrivals.
Commercial Sailing ships!! They needed a large crew. At ports in Africa and the far east they would have to recruited replacements for losses from the local population. These guys (nearly always guys) would arrive back in Blighty and do what sailors do in port. Voila! our ancestors. No passports, no paperwork, just get off the ship and procreate. The large numbers wouldn't show up due to gene dilution. We all have some grandparents from say the last 500 years.
@@ianhamilton3113 so just complete guess work from you. Including the guess that commercial ships had loads of deaths on them..and then these Africans came to port at Britain and were just allowed to leave the ship and then they were all successful at meeting and having kids with the local women. Basically your comment is exactly the same as the false assumption of a major black presence in England at these times. I.E. just complete guess work with no verifiable facts to support them.
52:35 "Edward the black prince" is in reference to the armour he wore. Any one who has studied the hundred year war knows this. This is trash. An example trash history revisionism and not worth your time.
He's not correct that the Norman Kings had no Anglo-Saxon blood - King Henry I married Matilda of Scotland - Grand-daughter of the Saxon King Edmund Ironside. Henry I married her to gain more legitimacy with his Saxon subjects.
He didn't say they didn't have Anglo-Saxon blood, he said they based their authority on the Norman bloodline. He even implies there were some fakers in the extended aristocracy, who were definitely pure English or Welsh but pretended to have Norman ancestry to legitimise their claims.

@@Maat-obabaa melanin makes you highly expressive people? A skin pigment affects your disposition? Do you even realise melanin is the general term for the Three primary types of melanin? Pheomelanin Eumelanin and neuromelanin. Every human has the same amount of melanocytes which are responsible for the production of every type of melanin. How do you think white people have brown or black hair and eyes and freckles and get a tan? The production of eumelanin.

Proven by the fact that if you did you would say Eumelanin not the generic term melanin.
“It’s a society in which there is considerable ethnic diversity.” No, there isn’t. Outside mainstream media and the cities, the UK is predominantly white.
I bet there were more Italians than any sub Saharan Africans. And it’s a slight of hand trying to say that sub Saharan Africans were in Europe in significant numbers when it referred to North Africans.

Macritchie was a folklorist and head of the Scottish folklore society. His works have no historical value and ancient and modern Britain's isn't even in print anymore. He has been widely debunked for his Misquotes and mistranslations and context manipulation. He also said Britain had giants and elves and fairies and dwarves.

@@jefffloyd1 so why wasn't his father called the black king? Why wasn't his mother called the black Queen He wasn't even called the black prince In his lifetime He was named that in the 16th century there is no written record of the black prince before then. He was called Edward of Woodstock And he gained the nickname the black prince because historians noted written accounts of how he swapped his royal shield during jousting for the shield he war in battle the same shield that sits above his tomb alongside his black battle helm. His son was king Richard the second Why wasn't he the black king Considering his father was the black prince who never made king. Now if you want to believe that when a nickname of colour is given it must simply mean skin colour and as you won't know this Edward of Woodstock had a brother called John of gaunt who's nickname among some historians is the red prince. Then it's Funny how he was the third son of Edward the third and the same mother and father as Edward of Woodstock which means if the black prince was a black man then they all were but for some reason it was only Edward that was singled out. Now was John the gaunt red faced? No just like his brother he has been given an unofficial name by historians. The reason he's the red is because he started the house of Lancaster which is one of the three houses of the war of the rose's. Who all had a rose emblem Red rose of Lancaster Tudor rose and the white rose of York You people want to believe that black must mean ethnicity even though the word black is the only evidence for believing it So you ignore all the inconsistencies and the fact that he had siblings from the same parents who for some reason avoided having their black ethnicity added to their name You ignore all the broader evidence to the point that when examples of portraits and artwork are given you've all taken the stance that an unparalleled conspiracy took place to whitewash the thousands and thousands of images paintings illustrations mosaics statues and tapestries. And not a single original artwork showing the real black person who was falsified survived. You think they are majority black when you look into the meaning of the word. Well sorry but if you had done that you'd realise the word is mainly related to negative emotions and actions Dark/black deeds.

@@UICeinnselaig well. Very poetic. It’s intriguing when you investigate the language you’ll find many clues to the questions of “black” the names themselves denote Dark complexion. Many names, words and suffixes have been altered by ‘definition’ however when you dive into the etymology and essential understandings of words like dub’ ‘Mac’ ‘Douglas’ all denote some sort of denotation of the word ‘dark’ or ‘black’
Bernie Fynn, this is just another false narrative being propagated by revisionists. The Moors are Berbers who are Indigenous to North Africa and they're Not Black Negroids. The Berbers like the Arabs are of the Caucasoid race just like East Indians. It's always the Negroid and Oriental races who suffer from an insane inferiority complex.

Well, where were all the Black people in Mediaeval and Tudor times? Possibly in some of the port cities, but certainly not in huge numbers. There really weren't a large amount of people of Afro Caribbean or South Asian descent until the Post War period, i.e. 1950s and 60s. BTW, the oldest mosque in the UK in Woking was built in 1895. If there had been a significant Moslem population in the UK, I am sure there would've been mosques built before the late 19th century, but there is no evidence of this.
@@janettewhitchurch5118 From BBC History: The Tudor surname first appeared in the ancestry of Henry VII in the 1420s, when Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur ap Goronwy ap Tudur ap Goronwy ap Ednyfed Fychan abandoned the Welsh patronymic system and adopted a fixed surname. Had he, as was generally the custom, adopted his father’s name, the English throne would have been occupied for a century by the Maredudd dynasty. He opted instead for his grandfather’s name - a prescient choice, for Tudur or Tudor comes from the Brythonic tud (territory) and rhi (king).
Strangely, for me the way to view historical events was quite the opposite. I always thought that the further back you go, you would find 'purer' historical data. This was based on the idea that a man was not classified by his skin color in ancient times but by his nation of origin. So the actual tainting of history is relatively recent.
@@tarharqataseti9261 Don’t take this the wrong way but ruddy, tawny, sable, brown, swarthy and especially brunette are all terms used to describe the different shades of people we’d classify as “black” today.

He says the 11th century to the 16th century.... "it is a period in history which modern people in Britain take thier ideas of identity from. It is the period in history people where say English identitiy was fashioned" Well I've never heard anyone I know say this. In fact almost everyone I know would say the Industrial Revolution onwards is where British identity was forged. This is the period where working class identity came about in its modern form, where the workers movement rose and working class solidarity came into being. However I appreciate Gresham College is not about working class, it's about middle class politics, empowerment, agenda and culture and part of middle class culture is to make sweeping genralisations that anything middle class is true for everyone and nothing else exists.
The ethnic spiritual identity of a land is formed over many thousands of years. This muppet in the video is being highly selective in his choice of era, to make his false argument.
British people need to learn their own history... King Henry 8th was black.. Queen Anne Boleyn was black.. Elizabeth the first was black.. King James the 6th was black.. King Charles the first and second were black.. and their wives.. there are plenty of RUclips videos that will tell the British people the truth... Enough said.
😂😂 Oh you poor deluded fool. None of them were black. King James was white from the house of Stuart he had his portrait painted many times and twice By the same artist one when he was a child and one when he was crowned. His mother Mary Queen of Scots had her wax deathmask done clearly showing she was white and her actual white descendants own it and Henry Stuart his father had his skull craniofacial superimposition reconstruction done by Durham university again proving he was white.

He keeps saying "people of African descent" but, considering Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on earth, it's a hallow statement. It tells you nothing. Berbers often have blue eyes. The Carthaginians trace their roots to the Levant. Egyptians and other North Africans consider themselves part of the Arab world. I have no doubt that their were small populations of people from the continent of Africa present in Medeival England. I also can believe a segment of that population was West or Sub Saharran in origin but it's impact can be charitably called minimal to the larger English society. I think it's safe to say that, the overwelming majority of English people had never personally met a person of African descent in England in their lives until the 20th Century.
The overwhelming majority of English people had never personally met a person who lived more than 20 miles away from where they were born, so what. It seems that for English people who lived in larger urban settings, black people may have been part of their lives. The Lecturer never claimed that people of African descent played a major role in English society, he suggested that they have been part of the fabric of that society, and may not have been seen in the same racialized way that they are today. I congratulate you if when you hear the phrase people of African descent, you think of people with blue eyes. I am pretty that when he says people of African descent, most people think of someone with black skin and dark eyes.
@@jukker95 The point I believe he is making is that North Africans, who inevitably had the most contact with Europeans due to geographical location, were not black. Certainly not through recorded history anyway. Of course there were black people in Britain in these times, and through ancient history. But the fact that videos need to be made to highlight the existance of these people is questionable.
You're right. And i think this was a deliberately misleading conflation on his part. He has to stretch what few examples he has as far as he can in lew of the overwhelming evidence against him.
"it's a hallow statement. It tells you nothing". "the majority of English people had never personally met a person of African descent in England in their lives until the 20th Century." -- 'Ooh muh goodness' -- your comments ranks right up there w/ Miranda Kaufman's 'discovery' tome.

My take was different. I seriously doubt that he has any interest in being on a team that doesn’t want him. I believe his goal was to educate others that their long held beliefs are incorrect.
Let’s not overestimate the amount of black people in British history and culture. Even in the late 18th century they numbered around 15 thousand in a population of around 9 million. That’s 0.0016%. The overwhelming majority was white and so was every prominent historical figure in our history be it warriors, religious, royal, inventors, writers,poets, playwrights,politicians,businessmen, artists, scientists. Black people simply to not figure in British History . Not racist , just an inconvenient fact to the multiracial lobby who want to change history for their own purposes.
The blacks were expelled from Europe en masse long before the 18th century so that argument doesn’t make any sense. Every prominent historical figure was not white and he never made the argument that that the majority of British prominent figure was black. You should be thankful that blacks came to Europe because without them Europe would still be in the dark ages. It was blacks who taught white Europeans everything including how to bathe and read and write.
Who cares about colour This argument is ignorant on both ends I don’t care about who’s family lived where and when We live in the least racist time in human history Enjoy our freedom and keep the ball rolling
WE WAS KANGS ..... but now we can dismiss all the calls for reoperations, and complaints about racial slavery since Africans were British 2000 years ago so I do not want to hear about racism anymore since we are all British
Africans we not British 2000 years ago. Blacks didn't arrive in the uk until the early 50s. Check out The Windrush Generation (blacks) that travelled here by ships in the 50s.

I believe that a few black people have been dotted about Britain for a long time, there have not been significant numbers historically, mass immigration is a late 20 century thing.
For centuries sailing ships have brought back sailors recruited in overseas ports. When they arrived they did what sailors do in port. Weirdly even HMS Victory had crew from Africa, India and Brazil (22 countries in total!!!). I would have thought a naval vessel would only be crewed by Brits.

Absolute twoddle. British history is essentially white European history. There were no black people in Britain in anywhere near significant numbers until the early 1900s.
I'm not sure it was the moors, but maybe we can look back to ancient Egypt, or better yet, Kemet...... I think Egypt tho. They made a creation, and I won't say whether that creation was people, food, objects, etc. What I will say is that such creation went to the caverns in a part of Africa ( I wanna say East-ish ) for a time, eventually migrating ( or forced ) into the Caucasus Mountains.. Maybe I'm giving it away, and maybe my info is incorrect, but I do feel as tho the so-called "blacks" played a part long ago in the so-called "whites" being angry to this day.. I hate to say it, but maybe there was a move by people like us, but then again, I had also been taught that they were true savages and had to be separated from everyday society..

Hark on this fool, he thinks that Britain only existed since the 17 hundreds. No, Britain as a island with the name Britain or Britannia witch obviously the name Britain comes from, has been called such since the Romans that came here named it such a little over 2000 years ago.
They aren't called the early medieval, its called the Dark Ages. I might take this bloke more seriously if he wasn't so shouty and partial. Does he think we don't know that the so called Royal Family are from anywhere but England. Seems like he thinks it's some kind of shock horror.
It was actually, the term is derived from the Latin term medium aevum, meaning middle age, and was penned in the 19th century. the dark ages are either just a synonym of the same period or describing periods during the most frequent feudal wars, and the various plagues due to societal practices based on superstitions, and those superstitions making the prevalence of plagues and diseases more prevalent(including the Black Death). So the Dark ages would be more accurately described as a subcategory of the Middle ages, so the presenter is still right.
Most of England’s Royal family didn’t originate in England, but rather Germany. And as much as most might dislike it, so called black people were at the inception of European monarchs and royal families. A great book that puts true history in perspective is Memoirs of the secret services of John Macky. John Macky in his own writing describes the the people of the very era being spoken about in this lecture.

The Moors are North African Berbers who are indigenous to North Africa. The Moors are Not Black sub-Saharan west Africans as Dr Onyeka Nubia attempts to imply. In a lot of literature of the Middle Ages the Moors are also described as being part Berber and of part Arab ancestry. Both the North African Berbers and the Middle Eastern Arabs are of the Caucasoid race, Not the Negroid race. Saracens are what Italians called Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East.
“The reins of their (Moors) horses were as fire, their faces black as pitch, their eyes shone like burning candles, their horses were swift as leopards and the riders fiercer than a wolf in a sheepfold at night. . . The noble Goths [the German rulers of Spain] were broken in an hour, quicker than tongue can tell.” Sounds like it.

The modern state goes hand in hand with nationalism and ideas of consanguinity. It is not surprising that prior to the modern state form aristocracies would be open to 'foreigners' being members of their retinue and included in celebrations and other pageantry. In a way this lecture supports the argument that 'Diversity' goes hand in hand with societies run by elites that are morally and ethnically disconnected from the masses they rule over.
My Y-DNA haplogroup is R1b, which is linked to the Iberian peninsula as well as parts of west Africa! I wonder if some of my ancestors were moors from north Africa?
If you have West Irish or Cornish ancestors maybe a bit. Thing is if you go back 350 years you have 8,000 forebears. Any one of whom could have that dna.
No, R1b is very common in Western Europe, much more than around the Tchad lake. This is european, we know its genetical history. A common explanation for the minor presence in Africa is that north africans had european slaves and also had connexions to this regions of black africa. So R1b residual presence in WA is probably descending from european slaves.
R1B used to be classified as African. But it's now discovered to be so widespread in Europe, rather than accept most modern Europeans have African ancestry, they've reclassified it as European... classic academic tactic...
@@andrewtayo5937No it is not. It's found in Africa in very small percentages of the population, but is the majority haplogroup (alongside R1a) in Europe.
everybody knows that blacks had being inside europe in all sort of conditions, from nobility all the way to merchants, soldiers to servants and slaves, but this person it´s overestimating by far that presence. By the way, moors were berebers, not blacks, only a fraction of them were really blacks (almoravids), and only the mauritanian and Mali part of the soldiers. The black inside the moors raiding the mediterranean were mostly muslims mercenaries from sub saharan origin (from Sudan all the way to Nigeria ato senegal) or muslim slaves also from sub saharan origin. In Art obviously the ones that had more impression for the European mind were the foreigners, East Indians, west Indians, Blacks, etc... and obviously it´s more striking to do a battle were all the soldiers were sudanese instead of the standard bererer or semitic soldier from the fatimid Caliphate in a picture depicting medieval fight with fatimids
@@user-hy4xz1qt9h the Moors were majority Arab. The clue is in the Language and the religion. (Arabic/Islam) The moorish conquest of Iberia was founded by an Arab born in Syria and Tariq ibn Ziyad had 12 thousand Arabs in his army. I love the way you say the "Arabic" manuscripts are in who's possession? The proof is most definitely in the pudding.
What about Romans and others from the Roman Empire including Jews? Aren't they part of the British gene pool. Also wasn't there a Roman archer unit that was permanently stationed on the western part of Hadrian's wall that was from Western Sudan. Also when the Muslims invaded Iberia, it was before they conquered the northern and interior parts of west Africa and most of the troops were Sephardic Berber Jews with the rest being Berber Muslims.

The moral of the story is to Question EVERYTHING, even ignorant comments.
We'd best to start with the lecture then. He begins with a claim to evidence and commences from a place of inference instead. (often rooted in misinterpretation to boot). To use the modern parlance, this "PhD" is goofy to the max - ahistorical twaddle.
The word Stuart comes from the old nordish root Svart which means black. Stuart is the same word as Swarthy, which means black in old English. There was once a Stuart line of Kings in England. The name of the founding ancestor was Stuart which means Black man.
The idea that there were a tiny few black people in medieval England can not be extrapolated out to mean " Africans are integral to English history" and so what anyway, all people have history. It doesn't matter what colour you are. Most people in England would have never left their village, The Iberian peninsular would have been like the dark side of the moon
I'd say that there was definately more white or light skinned people in Africa at these times. I don't know why modern media ignores this?
@@idratherbeaphilthanajustin9533 There were, merchants, settlers and corsairs among the Barbary states(usually renegades who converted to Islam and joined the corsairs in order to escape slavery in North Africa), but most of all, European slaves.

If only Hegel had known that, he would never had said that Africans were a people without history. The lecturer never said Africans are integral to English history. He said that people of African descent were an everyday part of that history. You might want to ask what emotions lead you to misunderstand or overstate what the lecturer said.

This is ahistorical nonsense from an overwrought, postmodern, revisionist.
What my dear old grandad called a ruddy liar.
So, the point of this is: an extremely small minority of sub-Saharan people existed in Europe. Their largest presence was being 10% (possibly) of one city in the region of Europe the Moors (a mixed population btw) conquered, and their impact on the rest of Europe was so minor we don't register they were there.
You don't register that they were here because Europe, like most of its citizenry, wants to forget that there were people of African decent in many parts of Europe. Do yourself a favour and read a book. The History of the Scottish Islands published in the 1700's mentions "native" people living on some of the islands with dark/black skin. Read about the moors and all the things they brought to Spain/Portugal and the rest of Europe. There are many Spanish words that have Arabic origins. Stop being lazy and ignorant.
@@ejadadi yes Arabic origins because the Moors were mostly of Arab/Levant stock. What book about black people in Scotland? You'll have to link that than some vague book from hundreds of years ago. The part of Europe I'm from you will literally never see a person of colour unless you go to a tourist spot. The reality is poc were there (Moors, Huns, Mongols) but played an extremely minor to non-existent role, apart from being invading enemies for the people of Europe.
Also, we dont want to forget anything. I think you're desperately trying to overplay their relevance. Even today in England, a very diverse European country. There is a 7% Asian and 3% black population. And that's from the British commonwealth, not some "medieval black and Asian European group".
In Germany it's less, unless you count Turks. And across the continent even less than that.
@@greendalf123 UK, France, Germany have the highest number when it comes to diversity. Last count was around 27% in germany. The contries it self are not that diverse, it's mostly trading hubs that are very diverse. Hence forth cities like London, Hamburg, Cologne, Paris, etc are divers, than a back end country side of any country. Same goes for any other city/country.
@@servalous Germany is 75% Germans with other European minorities being the second most prevalent at ~13%. Asians (mostly Turks) being ~9%. North Africans ~2% and Sub-Saharan Africans less than 1%...
Don't know if other Europeans are considered a diversity element, they seem to be lumped all into one group. At least in north america.
France has a small but notable north African segment, and a small but notable mixed segment.
And yes of course any major city will have the most foreign elements.
@@ejadadi the Moors were Arab caliphates that conquered mesopotamia Syria then Egypt and the Maghreb
They ruled different parts of Iberia at different times and never all at once and the last.two centuries only held Grenada.
They had a minor influence on Europe as a whole.
They didn't get past the northern kingdoms of Castile and Aragon and Leon and Asturias
And only one caliphate was Berber ruled and lasted the least amount of time. The Berbers were integrated into the Umayyad caliphate after they were conquered and before that they were under the rule of the Visigoths and the Romans before then.
The Berbers tried to revolt In the Maghreb after the Iberian invasion and an army was sent from Baghdad to quell the revolt before it spread to Iberia
The Moors is Arab history and Arab rule every caliphate ruler was an Arab the main power base was Damascus the capital was Baghdad
They didn't conquer europe they conquered the Iberian peninsula of southern Europe
The holy Roman empire ruled Europe at that time and it was the Franks who stopped the Muslim expansion from attempting to invade europe ever again
What ever their achievements were they belong to Arabs not north Africans who were simply swept up in the Muslim campaign.
It was actually Greek and Roman Culture that had a bigger influence on Arabs than they did on Europeans
The Arabs had all the Greek and Roman literature translated and in some cases expanded on the mathematical scientific and philosophical works of the Greeks and Romans
The infrastructure and irrigation systems they found in Iberia were the Romans and they kept them and improved them where they could.
Arabic words in Spanish are words of things Arabs introduced they are loan words
They didn't alter the language in any significant way
When invaders leave significant influence you end up with places like south America and north America and Africa were Spanish English and Portuguese and french became official languages
Where names replaced indigenous names.
Arabs had that impact on Africa not Europe
Same as Europe did on africa and the Americas
The original comment is correct that the Arab invasion of Iberia wasn't hardly noticed because Europe was far busier with other things like the various civil wars in the holy Roman empire and the eastern Roman empire and the battle for Britain and the holy crusades.

But yes do t just rewrite European history start treating the history of the peoples of the americas too. As for colonialism clearly if the European population was African it was only people going back! I expect Julie’s Caesar was from equatorial africa. And Scipius africa us was given the title africa us because of his success against Carthage but because he was from The Congo.

Honest opinion because whites have made sure globally to keep control and never let what happened before happen again.

There was black Romans. Septimius Severus the Emperor was black. He lived and died in York . There was an African Commantiy in Burgh By Sands in Cumbria called Aballava Fort.
Look up John Macky British spy d.1726 Memoirs, his descriptions of NOBILITY was not always white and these were people alive in his own time, spy subjects. Also learn definitions for the words: swarthy, ruddy, & sanguine, so you understand what the descriptions mean. Those in control of narratives forgot that book😂

Macritchie was a folklorist and head of the Scottish folklore society. His works have no historical value and ancient and modern Britain's isn't even in print anymore. He has been widely debunked for his Misquotes and mistranslations and context manipulation. He also said Britain had giants and elves and fairies and dwarves. He is only ever cited by afrocentrists who scrape the barrel.
All of which are practically fictional. MacRitchie wrote about fairies and dwarfs, and Rogers was no better.

@@jefffloyd1 so why wasn't his father called the black king? Why wasn't his mother called the black Queen
He wasn't even called the black prince In his lifetime
He was named that in the 16th century there is no written record of the black prince before then.
He was called Edward of Woodstock
And he gained the nickname the black prince because historians noted written accounts of how he swapped his royal shield during jousting for the shield he war in battle the same shield that sits above his tomb alongside his black battle helm.
His son was king Richard the second
Why wasn't he the black king
Considering his father was the black prince who never made king.
Now if you want to believe that when a nickname of colour is given it must simply mean skin colour and as you won't know this Edward of Woodstock had a brother called John of gaunt who's nickname among some historians is the red prince. Then it's Funny how he was the third son of Edward the third and the same mother and father as Edward of Woodstock which means if the black prince was a black man then they all were but for some reason it was only Edward that was singled out.
Now was John the gaunt red faced? No just like his brother he has been given an unofficial name by historians. The reason he's the red is because he started the house of Lancaster which is one of the three houses of the war of the rose's. Who all had a rose emblem
Red rose of Lancaster Tudor rose and the white rose of York
You people want to believe that black must mean ethnicity even though the word black is the only evidence for believing it
So you ignore all the inconsistencies and the fact that he had siblings from the same parents who for some reason avoided having their black ethnicity added to their name
You ignore all the broader evidence to the point that when examples of portraits and artwork are given you've all taken the stance that an unparalleled conspiracy took place to whitewash the thousands and thousands of images paintings illustrations mosaics statues and tapestries.
And not a single original artwork showing the real black person who was falsified survived.
You think they are majority black when you look into the meaning of the word.
Well sorry but if you had done that you'd realise the word is mainly related to negative emotions and actions
Dark/black deeds.
Blackened his character/name

Strangely, for me the way to view historical events was quite the opposite. I always thought that the further back you go, you would find 'purer' historical data. This was based on the idea that a man was not classified by his skin color in ancient times but by his nation of origin. So the actual tainting of history is relatively recent.
People were described in at least medievcal times as; fair, pale, ruddy, brunette, brown, dark etc.
@@tarharqataseti9261 Don’t take this the wrong way but ruddy, tawny, sable, brown, swarthy and especially brunette are all terms used to describe the different shades of people we’d classify as “black” today.

He says the 11th century to the 16th century.... "it is a period in history which modern people in Britain take thier ideas of identity from. It is the period in history people where say English identitiy was fashioned"
Well I've never heard anyone I know say this. In fact almost everyone I know would say the Industrial Revolution onwards is where British identity was forged. This is the period where working class identity came about in its modern form, where the workers movement rose and working class solidarity came into being.
However I appreciate Gresham College is not about working class, it's about middle class politics, empowerment, agenda and culture and part of middle class culture is to make sweeping genralisations that anything middle class is true for everyone and nothing else exists.

A handful of people is an insignificant number.
He keeps saying "people of African descent" but, considering Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on earth, it's a hallow statement. It tells you nothing.
Berbers often have blue eyes. The Carthaginians trace their roots to the Levant. Egyptians and other North Africans consider themselves part of the Arab world.
I have no doubt that their were small populations of people from the continent of Africa present in Medeival England. I also can believe a segment of that population was West or Sub Saharran in origin but it's impact can be charitably called minimal to the larger English society.
I think it's safe to say that, the overwelming majority of English people had never personally met a person of African descent in England in their lives until the 20th Century.
The overwhelming majority of English people had never personally met a person who lived more than 20 miles away from where they were born, so what. It seems that for English people who lived in larger urban settings, black people may have been part of their lives. The Lecturer never claimed that people of African descent played a major role in English society, he suggested that they have been part of the fabric of that society, and may not have been seen in the same racialized way that they are today. I congratulate you if when you hear the phrase people of African descent, you think of people with blue eyes. I am pretty that when he says people of African descent, most people think of someone with black skin and dark eyes.
@@jukker95 The point I believe he is making is that North Africans, who inevitably had the most contact with Europeans due to geographical location, were not black. Certainly not through recorded history anyway. Of course there were black people in Britain in these times, and through ancient history. But the fact that videos need to be made to highlight the existance of these people is questionable.
"Berbers often have blue eyes." A very small minority.
You're right. And i think this was a deliberately misleading conflation on his part. He has to stretch what few examples he has as far as he can in lew of the overwhelming evidence against him.
"it's a hallow statement. It tells you nothing". "the majority of English people had never personally met a person of African descent in England in their lives until the 20th Century."

Let’s not overestimate the amount of black people in British history and culture. Even in the late 18th century they numbered around 15 thousand in a population of around 9 million. That’s 0.0016%. The overwhelming majority was white and so was every prominent historical figure in our history be it warriors, religious, royal, inventors, writers,poets, playwrights,politicians,businessmen, artists, scientists.
Black people simply to not figure in British History . Not racist , just an inconvenient fact to the multiracial lobby who want to change history for their own purposes.
The blacks were expelled from Europe en masse long before the 18th century so that argument doesn’t make any sense. Every prominent historical figure was not white and he never made the argument that that the majority of British prominent figure was black.

If the Moors conquered and subdued Europeans, did that motivate the chattel slavery system of the 1600’s as a form of revenge?
I'm not sure it was the moors, but maybe we can look back to ancient Egypt, or better yet, Kemet...... I think Egypt tho. They made a creation, and I won't say whether that creation was people, food, objects, etc. What I will say is that such creation went to the caverns in a part of Africa ( I wanna say East-ish ) for a time, eventually migrating ( or forced ) into the Caucasus Mountains.. Maybe I'm giving it away, and maybe my info is incorrect, but I do feel as tho the so-called "blacks" played a part long ago in the so-called "whites" being angry to this day.. I hate to say it, but maybe there was a move by people like us, but then again, I had also been taught that they were true savages and had to be separated from everyday society..

Seriously, if we're talking history, then put two and two together as to what or who migrated to the Caucasus Mountains. The moors helped civilize a group who had no sense of civility........

Hark on this fool, he thinks that Britain only existed since the 17 hundreds. No, Britain as a island with the name Britain or Britannia witch obviously the name Britain comes from, has been called such since the Romans that came here named it such a little over 2000 years ago.
The Greek traders called it Pritani in 1200 BC.
They aren't called the early medieval, its called the Dark Ages. I might take this bloke more seriously if he wasn't so shouty and partial. Does he think we don't know that the so called Royal Family are from anywhere but England. Seems like he thinks it's some kind of shock horror.
It was actually, the term is derived from the Latin term medium aevum, meaning middle age, and was penned in the 19th century. the dark ages are either just a synonym of the same period or describing periods during the most frequent feudal wars, and the various plagues due to societal practices based on superstitions, and those superstitions making the prevalence of plagues and diseases more prevalent(including the Black Death). So the Dark ages would be more accurately described as a subcategory of the Middle ages, so the presenter is still right.
Most of England’s Royal family didn’t originate in England, but rather Germany. And as much as most might dislike it, so called black people were at the inception of European monarchs and royal families. A great book that puts true history in perspective is Memoirs of the secret services of John Macky. John Macky in his own writing describes the the people of the very era being spoken about in this lecture.
@@greywolf7422 The dark ages referred to the period between the departure of the Romans and the ascent of Alfred when I was at school but then again I might not have been listening
@@ianandrewoconnor9032 Haven't heard of Alfred, will have to look him up, I assumed due to what I read about the middle ages that it was just an off the cuff term that generalizes how miserable life was during that time frame, similar to how we generalized the decade themes of the 50's, 60's, 70's ect. were, despite them occurring during what today we refer to as the modern age.

This is hilarious. You should do a video on the vibrant Eskimo culture in Cuba during the 1600's. Then you can do one about the Pygmies who were the real Hapsburg family.
Nice one!

The Moors are North African Berbers who are indigenous to North Africa. The Moors are Not Black sub-Saharan west Africans as Dr Onyeka Nubia attempts to imply. In a lot of literature of the Middle Ages the Moors are also described as being part Berber and of part Arab ancestry. Both the North African Berbers and the Middle Eastern Arabs are of the Caucasoid race, Not the Negroid race. Saracens are what Italians called Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East.
“The reins of their (Moors) horses were as fire, their faces black as pitch, their eyes shone like burning candles, their horses were swift as leopards and the riders fiercer than a wolf in a sheepfold at night. . . The noble Goths [the German rulers of Spain] were broken in an hour, quicker than tongue can tell.”
Sounds like it.
@@trevormcdonald385 that's a reference to the Moors' horses not the Moors themselves 🤦♂ It's actually a specific reference to the famous Arabian Horse which the Moors brought with them to the Iberian Peninsula.
@@acortes7771 and this ??
“All the Moorish soldiers were dressed with silk and black wool that had been forcibly acquired … their black faces were like pitch and the most handsome of them was as black as a cooking pan.”
5th century AD - “The Moors have bodies black as night, while the skin of the Gauls is white..."
Though men of Nubia be Christian, they be as the Moors from the great heat of the sun, written by English Knight, Sir John Mandeville, (died 1372). See chapter 7 of the Travels of Sir John Mandeville (Penguin Classics).
@@trevormcdonald385 Sir John Madeville was an author of Travel Romance Novels in the 14th Century. Hardly a scholarly expert on the Moors. Nice try tho! 🤣

The rewriting of history continues ..... Don't you think it's getting a little bit beyond silly at this point.
This has been an incredibly mind opening talk, I loved every single second of it! Amazing!
What exactly opened your mind?
The modern state goes hand in hand with nationalism and ideas of consanguinity. It is not surprising that prior to the modern state form aristocracies would be open to 'foreigners' being members of their retinue and included in celebrations and other pageantry.
In a way this lecture supports the argument that 'Diversity' goes hand in hand with societies run by elites that are morally and ethnically disconnected from the masses they rule over.
And brittain is a island not a made up country
What do you mean not a made up Country? All countries are made up.
A very well spoken, well presented dose of bullocks. Yes indeed
Mr. Redecker best teacher!
This is a terrible re-writing of history. It's actually laughable
Why?
It's rewritten to him because he knows nothing about it. It's called REAL HISTORY. Not the made up nonsense you were taught.
Don't expect a cogent reply. His comment is just an expression of cognitive dissonance and denial.
My Y-DNA haplogroup is R1b, which is linked to the Iberian peninsula as well as parts of west Africa! I wonder if some of my ancestors were moors from north Africa?
Have you attempted a family tree? You may make some surprising discoveries.
If you have West Irish or Cornish ancestors maybe a bit.
Thing is if you go back 350 years you have 8,000 forebears. Any one of whom could have that dna.
No, R1b is very common in Western Europe, much more than around the Tchad lake. This is european, we know its genetical history. A common explanation for the minor presence in Africa is that north africans had european slaves and also had connexions to this regions of black africa. So R1b residual presence in WA is probably descending from european slaves.
R1B used to be classified as African. But it's now discovered to be so widespread in Europe, rather than accept most modern Europeans have African ancestry, they've reclassified it as European... classic academic tactic...
@@andrewtayo5937No it is not. It's found in Africa in very small percentages of the population, but is the majority haplogroup (alongside R1a) in Europe.

everybody knows that blacks had being inside europe in all sort of conditions, from nobility all the way to merchants, soldiers to servants and slaves, but this person it´s overestimating by far that presence. By the way, moors were berebers, not blacks, only a fraction of them were really blacks (almoravids), and only the mauritanian and Mali part of the soldiers. The black inside the moors raiding the mediterranean were mostly muslims mercenaries from sub saharan origin (from Sudan all the way to Nigeria ato senegal) or muslim slaves also from sub saharan origin.
In Art obviously the ones that had more impression for the European mind were the foreigners, East Indians, west Indians, Blacks, etc... and obviously it´s more striking to do a battle were all the soldiers were sudanese instead of the standard bererer or semitic soldier from the fatimid Caliphate in a picture depicting medieval fight with fatimids

moors were black. the arabic manuscripts are in who's possession? berber or black africans? the proof is in the pudding
@@user-hy4xz1qt9h the Moors were majority Arab. The clue is in the Language and the religion. (Arabic/Islam) The moorish conquest of Iberia was founded by an Arab born in Syria and Tariq ibn Ziyad had 12 thousand Arabs in his army. I love the way you say the "Arabic" manuscripts are in who's possession? The proof is most definitely in the pudding.
@@UICeinnselaig arab is not an ethnicity.
What about Romans and others from the Roman Empire including Jews? Aren't they part of the British gene pool. Also wasn't there a Roman archer unit that was permanently stationed on the western part of Hadrian's wall that was from Western Sudan. Also when the Muslims invaded Iberia, it was before they conquered the northern and interior parts of west Africa and most of the troops were Sephardic Berber Jews with the rest being Berber Muslims. Why did the Black English allow Black slavery? What percentage of Black Sub-Saharan do White modern English and overall modern English have?
