This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
There’s a few scattered references to ‘Ethiopians’ or some other description of clearly ‘black’ people in Europe before the age of discovery, but definitely no reason to think they were a major presence.
My guess is that the sight wouldn’t have been shocking in a port town, although it might be unusual, but they would have been in random villages.
