      I know, at least she went on the field and was loved by the men she helped and saved - they had a subscription to help her as she spent all her money to help the men. I always think she was related to me because she married a Campbell, but I can't confirm it. Whatever, she should be more celebrated for her great work, dedication and kindness, as the men who knew of her realised and acknowledged

      3. King John of England (1199-1216) sent an embassy to the Almohad caliph al-Nāsir (1199-1213) in which John offered to convert to Islam and to hold the kingdom of England as a tributary of the Muslim caliph.
      3. Top 10 new born baby names in England is Muhammad (No 1).
      4. According to The Encyclopaedia Britannica: “Most of the classical literature that spurred the European Renaissance was obtained from translations of Arabic manuscripts in Muslim libraries.” (1984), Vol. 15, p. 646

      Yup! When people are complaining about "historical accuracy" when it comes to the skintone of elves, dwarves, hobbits and mermaids....... you know their problem is nothing to do with actual history. All "historical drama" is essentially fantasy especially if the source is fiction, and IMO there is zero justification for excluding an entire group of actors from genre roles based solely on their skintone.

Empire gown have historical evidence of looking amazing on larger women. Why are they doing the fat girl dirty with how short they have her top cut?!

If it’s in a purely historical drama that doesn’t use actual historical individuals and replace whatever race they are with another. People would be more open if not then yeah it’s purely showing whatever hatred they have for said race.

    Love your videos Lindsay. Just wanted to add that historically Yoruba was, and still is a tribe and language, not a place or village. So Sarah was not “born in Yoruba”, she was born in Oke Odan, which was one of the many Yoruba speaking villages/lands that existed.
    Additionally, saying at 3:55 that “His parents were also from Yoruba” is also incorrect.

      No, we don't need no more revisionist whitewashed history taught in the schools. Blacks has ALWAYS ruled Europe ! They ruled up until the year 1848, they were the kings and Queens. Queen Victoria was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Her father was the fourth son of King George III and his MOORISH NEGRO consort (wife) Sophia Charlotte.
      Black Queen adopted the black girl as her goddaughter, just as simple as that.
      This little girl might have been a European Sephardic Jews. Why would she be born and grown in Africa and speak English so fluently?

      So Europeans were shocked because they were not use to see people of color?!
      Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1752 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin)
      If Benjamin Franklin says Blacks were the majority in Europe, then how is it possible that white people were shocked to see a black man kissing a white woman?!
      O what tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
      Around B.C. 1500 Europe had gradually changed from an all - Black populous inhabitant to a multi -racial continent. Every European nation prior to the presence of whites was ruled by the indigenous Africans, who were called Moors, meaning BLACK or NEGRO.
      History has proven that Europe was once occupied by a black skinned people, who brought the concept of religion, government, King , Queen, agriculture, medicine, science, and fine arts to the continent. They established Europe's first Royal dynasties, and other great powerful institutions that still exist to this day. In every European nation there existed a Royal Family of African descent, who proudly exhibited their noble status; from just the mere fact of having MOORISH blood in their veins. The Aristocratic Black sovereignty over Europe appeared to have reached its peak from the Renaissance to the French revolution. The colored world had strategically controlled the highest echelons and liaisons of every European society. Their complexion AUTOMATICALLY guaranteed them Europe's highest privileges, whereas being White was just the opposite, causing much suffering, humiliation and deprivation!
      Now you know why they are mad.
      Thy have whitewashed and has been teaching nothing but revisionist history.
      You don't need them to teach you about history, purchase your own books and do your own research.
      The British Oliver Cromwell spent most of his life trying to break the stronghold which Blacks firmly held over whites . He helped IRELAND to become free of the harshness of Black oppression, and later persuaded the British Parliament to behead the BLACK English King Charles I. Cromwell's intention was to obliterate the DARK -SKINNED noble families of Europe, and to annihilate the NEGRO STEWART DYNASTY!
      Black rulership ended in 1848
      He was no African, and Shakespeare was a black man!

    Hi Lindsay. Love your videos. Thank you for including not 1, but 2, prominent Yoruba people, both royalty, as some sources say Aina and her husband were children of Chiefs or Kings. However, I should inform you that as you said in 1:10, Yoruba isn't a place. It's actually a people, made up of different subgroups and ethnicities. Oke-Odan as you mentioned is her birth home is probably an earlier form of Eba- Odan, which later became Ibadan, capital city of Oyo State. Which means she was probably a princess of the Oyo Empire. There was no place called Yoruba. We are a people, and not a place.
    Keep doing what you do😊 can't wait for next week's video

      Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin) you will clearly see that blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe and not only came in as slaves or of the lower class status.
      Blacks ruled Europe up until 1848, so what she teaches is revisionist whitewashed history. Whites were the lower class and were the subjects of the Black Kings and Queens.

      You will clearly see that Blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe. They regurgitate nothing but revisionist whitewashed history, giving us some rags to riches story about some African black. Blacks has ALWAYS been the ruling class in Europe. The ruled until 1848.
      Thousands of black Europeans were sold into slavery into the Caribbean. Where do you think you got all those European especially Irish names from?! There are more names than plantation owners. If you take a look at the ship manifest you will clearly see that the black Jamaicans came from Europe with those names.
      purchase books, and do your own research instead of listening to liars whse desire is to keep black people in a servile state. They wouldn't dare tell you they were slaves also and that they the subjects of the black ruling class of Europe, and were treated poorly by them until they finally over came their oppression, and that is why they turned around and treated black people the way they do. They vowed never to fall under the rulership of Blacks ever again.

      You will clearly see that blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe! not only there, but infact were the ruling class.
      They ruled Europe until 1848.
      She is doing nothing but regurgitating revisionist history, making it seem like every black in Europe came their as a slave then rose to a higher status. Nothing but lies! Whites were the ones who were the subjects of black people but they will NEVER tell you that. That is why YOU have to do your own research, their job is to keep the lies going . What are you thanking them for? lies!

      Please Google OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751: ( essay written by Benjamin Franklin) Blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe and were the ruling class, their rulership ended in 1884. They have taught and are still teaching that any black in Europe during that time were a slave or servant from Africa which is a lie from the pit of hell . Who do you think America got its independence from?

    I just started watching bridgerton and was wondering if there were actually black aristocrats in the victorian era. I was not surprised as I know a lot of black composers.
    Its a shame people don’t do their own research before giving their opinion. Thanks for the informative video!🩵

    My relative Jacob Jenkins Roberts, was a weathy man from the Roberts family of Virgina, a free black family spread out from Norfolk to Williamsburg to St. Petersburg. He was a part of the movement to bring Black slaves back to Africa (the outcome is controversial). This ended up in the creation of Liberia. He is the namesake of the Airport and he was the first president - an American - of Liberia. His wife, Jane, also from a free black family and from Virginia, lived her later years in London, after his death. She is buried in Highgate Cemetary in London.

      Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin) Not All slaves came from Africa! thousands came from Europe and many were already in America, but they went us to believe that they ALL came from Africa. Many of the Black Europeans also came in as indentured servants and owned slaves themselves. Blacks ruled Europe up until the year 1848.
