Some might find this interesting, and it does serve as a benchmark for the descriptive terms.

Volume 10
CHARLOTTE SOPHIA (1744-1818), queen of George III, king of England, was Wie youngest daughter of Charles Lewis, brother of Frederic, third duke of Mecklen- burg-Strelitz. When a young girl she was so distressed ac the ravages of tne IVussian troops on a relative's territory, that she wrote a letter to their king bege^ing him to restrain them. This letter found its way to England, and is said to have done something to direct the attention of the English court to her as a suitable consort for George (Mahon, His- tory of EngUiJid, iv. 331, 1846). The in- quiries made resulted in a formal proposal, which was accepted, and the princess set off for England. The voyage from Cuxhaven to Harwich took ten days, for the ship was de- layed by contrary winds. Charlotte beguiled the time by practising English tunes on the harpsichord. On 7 Sept. 1761 she landed in England. The next day she saw George for the first time at St. James's. From that mo- ment till the king's illness she said that she never knew real sorrow. They were married late that same evening. Their coronation took place on 22 Sept. of that year Ta mi- nute description is given in Richard Thom- son's Faithful Account y &c., 1820). Iler ap- pearance at this time is briefly described by Horace Walpole: *She is not tall nor a beauty. Pale and very thin; but looks sen- sible and ffenteel. Her hair is darkish and fine ; her forehead low, her nose very well, except the nofitrik spreading too wide.
The mouth has the same fault, but her teeth are good. She talks a great deal, and French tolerably' {Letters, iii. 434). The records of Charlotte's life are entirely of a domestic nature. She was merely a la^ figure in the numerous state pageants in which her position obliged her to take part, and she had no in- terest in nor influence over Ene^lish politics, which she probably scarcely understood. The king, though a devoted husband, never dis- cussed affairs of stat« with her. She was a woman of little ability, but she certainly acted up to her own standard of duty. Court life during this long reig^ was perfectly decorous, and it must be added very dull and colourless. Scandal could only say of her that she was somewhat mean in money matters ; but this was probably from early training (the story of an intrigue with the Che- valier d'Eon hardly requires serious mention.
Impressive site and many contemporary comments and observations of their physical appearance as dark or black.
I'd bet that in a fair number of cases that contemporary coins would show royalty either black or blacker than many paintings shown above.
You guys better all save this page in your files. No telling when things will disappear forever from the net.
Thanks for this great research, Mike.

Mike has done great research on Blacks in Europe I wish he would combine it all in an e-book. This would keep the information in an organized fashion for posterity.

Mike, thanks for this remarkable research. My question is who wasn't black in ancient Britain? (If any) My only problem is the title of this realhistory article. I wouldn't call this period "ancient" . It's Middle Ages and Renaissance. Somebody who did a search for ancient Britian would probably expecting to see something prior to the 5th century at least.

I've read of Guy De Beauchamp before. Nobody really disputes his descriptions, its just that most people have no idea who he was. I take it the 'cur' in 'the black cur of Arden' means "dog." He was known as the "black dog of Arden."

That's a very good question, in order to know that it's NOT Gannibal, he must know who it really is.

I read its authenticity is disputed. I'm as curious as you. Who else could it be is a good question.

Mike, this is a white woman. Are you colour-blind?
Her geneaology has also been checked. Despite the alleged 'mulatto' face, she had no known black ancestors. Her face more looks like she had down syndrome.
