One of Arthur's knights is literally from Africa
Granted he was portrayed as having vitiligo instead of just being biracial (his dad was a white guy who was a famous traveling knight)
Point still stands though, the historians of the day themselves literally saw nothing weird about that other than "oh yeah this cool guy came to the court from Africa too. His armor is a bit fancy and decorative but he swears it's a symbol of the pride his Queen wanted to project for his country."
There's also this guy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriaen
Moriaen is quite interesting because it's a story very much from the medieval period that demonstrates both literal racism (though not quite our modern interpretation) and that the moral lesson is don't be a racist...
To Other Christians.
But is he a building?
I always found his descriptions very funny, or, not really the description itself, but the thought process of the original storytellers it reveals.
"Well there's people with light skin and people with dark skin, so when they mix... The baby looks like... A cow?"
Although, now I actually wonder, did they know better and this was just something to make Feirefiz stand out?
What happens when your one black friend also happens to have Vitiligo and has a mischievous streak for people who ask if everyone in Africa looks like him
Correct me if I’m wrong but you mean Feirefiz? Who is a Saracen knight who attends a feast held by King Arthur and not one of Arthur’s knights?
I wouldn’t refer to Wolfram von Eschenbach as a historian either.
