Black People in Medieval Europe — The Humanity Archive
- OTHELLO
- The Moorish general from William Shakespeare’s Othello may be one of the most famous depictions of black person in medieval European history. Though a fictional character, his story is based on “Un Capitano Moro” ("A Moorish Captain") by Italian writer Cinthio, first published in 1565.
3. THE KINGS FOUNTAIN
With it’s striking visuals this well-constructed painting shows a lively street scene. The people are gathered around the Fountain of El-Rei in Lisbon, Portugal going about their daily business. Crafted in the 16th century, it shows images of a thriving black African population. The people appear to be a big part of the day to day happenings of town. One figure that stood out to me was on the bottom right. Look closely— do you see the Afro-Portuguese knight on horseback? Astonishing. His garment is officially endowed with the Herald of the order of Santiago.
2. THE SYBIL
Since ancient times Sybils were considered seers sent by god. Priestesses foretelling the coming of great events. This model serves to depict the Sybil of Agrippina, one of the 12 that foretold the coming of Christ. Notice the flagellum and crown of thrones which are symbolic objects reminding the viewer of Christs suffering.
4. WISE MEN FROM THE EAST
At this point, you’ll notice a trending them in medieval paintings— religion. In this one we see an African man as one of the wise men visiting a new born Jesus Christ.
5. ADORATION OF THE MAGI
Here is another iconic Adoration scene. Following a star, three kings unite for a much anticipated meeting with baby Jesus. They lay before him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
6. SIR MORIEN
Meet Sir Morien, the black knight of the round table. This gallant warrior was one of the men from the famed legend of King Arthur. When people refer to a “black knight” story from the legend, they literally mean a black knight.
“He was all black, even as I tell ye: his head, his body, and his hands were all black, saving only his teeth. His shield and his armour were even those of a Moor, and black as a raven...”
— ARTHURIAN ROMANCES, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY, 1901

Exactly. I don't know what the tweet was trying to convey, but they were using it to diminish him
I've seen black people be referred to as "moors" in other period pieces. Morgan Freeman played a Moor in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And Chappelle's character was a Moor in that Robin Hood parady movie he did.
