“The Irish annalists were a lesson to all with their division of Norse invaders into White Foreigners, Norwegians(Finn-gaill), and Black Foreigners, Danes(Dubh-gaill), but it was a lesson no one heeded; nor do we know why they distinguished them by colour.” See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones(1968)
“The Welsh chroniclers, for example, made no such clear distinction. The Danes coming in by way of England and the Norwegians by way of Ireland were pretty well all black: Black Gentiles(y Kenedloed Duon), Black Norsemen(y Normanyeit Duon), Black Host, Pagans, Devils and the like.”(CONT.) See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones(1968)
“Prince of Maine Mor(moor) was accompanied by his father Eochaidh, and his two sons Breasal and Amlaff.” Eochaid mac Run, known in English simply as Eochaid, was king of the Picts from 878 to 889 He was a son of Run, King of Strathclyde, and his mother was the daughter of Kenneth MacAlpin (NIGER VAL DUBH)
“There are turning hither to our shore lithe keels, ring-stags [ships] with long sail-yards, many shields, shaven oars, A NOBLE SEA-LEVY, MERRY WARRIORS. Fifteen companies are coming ashore, but out in Sogn there lie seven thousand more. There lie here in the dock off Cliff-holt surf-deer [ships] SWART-BLACK and GOLD ADORNED. There is by far the most of their host.” Helge Lay, i. 197-206.” See SCANDINAVIAN BRITAIN by William Gershom Collingwood(1908)
“There was a man hight Thorvard; he married Freydis, a natural daughter of Erik the Red; he went [219] also with them, and Thorvald the son of Erik (100), and THORHALL who was called the hunter; he had long been with Erik, and served him as huntsman in summer and steward in winter; he was a large man, and strong, BLACK AND LIKE A GIANT, silent and foul-mouthed in his speech, and always egged on Erik to the worst” See SAGA OF THORFINN KARLSEFNI.
“According to Egils Saga, of the 2 famous sons of Kveldulf, Thorolf was tall and handsome like his mothers people, but Grim took after his father was black and ugly. Grim’s sons Thorolf and Egill, born out in Iceland, repeated the pattern- Thorolf was the image of his uncle, tall, handsome and sunny-natured, and many Egill was black, even uglier than his father, totuous and incalculable,…..etc. craggy head, broad nose, heavy jaw and swart visage.” See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS, GWYN JONES pg 86
“The evidence indicates that Blacks in ancient times came to Britian from Spain, Felix Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, West Africa, India, Persia and what is today named Denmark. These Negroes were builders, scientists, masters of ocean travel and inventors of letters, according to Higgins, they built Stonehende, Gerald Massey agrees pg 11 Book of The Beginnings.” See Ancient and Modern Britons- MacRitchie pg 2
“The Danes, then were like the ‘MOORs’ -black. Like them, too, they were Picts, as more than one eminent writer has proved. The title of’GROM’ (WOAD-STAINED) is not confined to Highland genealogies, it was the actual name of a grim old pagan Dane who ruled over Denmark,(it meant daub).” See page 121, -David MacRitchie- Ancient and Modern Britons: Volume One (Ancient & Modern Britons)
DUBH, BLACK,SWARTHY,SWARTI
Tacitus in 70 or 90 b.c.e. a Roman historian notes that the “Silures”of Britania have some who are dark skinned with “unusally curly hair”.In J.A.Rogers Sex&Race vol.1and other books
mention these darker,ancient,Brits. why do some whites and blacks doubt any ancient presence of blacks in ancient Europe? Mind control to confuse and keep minds dull without
research capabilities is strong and malevolent today as ever.
It is silly to try and rewrite history… the same people who live on Irish soil today lived on Irish Soil 10,000 years ago! The black vikings in Ireland were called so as they were dark haired unlike native Irish and the blonde fair vikings and finally the fair Norman invaders. Irish people know where they come from so just ask and families can tell you which people they come from.
Ignorance and hubris! Pride goes before a fall…
Another possibility: The earliest native peoples of Scandinavia were a darker skinned, dark-eyed and dark-haired people. What we think of as Scandinavian-looking now came from the Germanic tribes that migrated into norther Europe and far north. They were lighter skinned, with many of them blond, red-haired and blue or green eyed. Often, people in Ireland that call themselves ‘black’ are more commonly describing their dark hair. There is a theory that the “black Irish” were actually descended from sailors from the ships of the Spanish Armada blown off course after their defeat and wrecked in northern latitudes. They were taken in by Gaelic peoples and their Moorish looks may have been passed on that way.
Similarly, the early Norse settled in Normandy. It is often historically mentioned that after the Duke of Normandy – William the Conqueror – invaded England, it was easy to tell the Normans (leaner, finer bones, dark-haired, somewhat olive-skinned) from the Saxons (husky, blue-eyed, light haired) for a few hundred years. The English king defeated by William, Harold Godwinson, was described as light-haired and blue-eyed, but his brother, Tostig, who became an outcast and took to Viking ways, was dark-haired. He may have been called a “black Viking”. You must be careful with your interpretation of “black” in this case. We now use the word to describe African-descended people. They may have used it to refer to people who tended to be darker-haired than the Saxon inhabitants, in other words, the “black” was RELATIVE to the Germanic tribes.
A good book that refers often to this difference is a kind of archeological/historical novel called “Sarum”. It describes the centuries of the Salisbury plain, where Stonehenge is located. While the prehistory and more ancient chapters are based on theories and archeological evidence instead of written history, the novelist often refers to and bases his narrative on these different bloodlines.
It may also be instructive to look into the Sami people – which we now call Lapps – as they are descended from the very ancient natives of Scandinavia. There has been a fair amount of racial mixing, however.
There is also a chronicle written by a Persian or Arabic explorer that visited that area, although it seems he was only a visitor and never settled in the North.
Suze Q, what you say is very interesting…but very wrong, and s a perpetuation of racist white supremecist philosophy. There were Negroid blacks among the scandinovians, with black skin and kinky hair of verian tectures and lengths. Don’t let this surprise you so much after all the first human beings were black people. The first proof of this is in the name itself – ADAM, which means black hard earth. Then, white scentists such as Leaky and others have affirmed that the earliest human that they could find was a black woman, which they agree may have been the first human. The Qu’ran says that Allah dispersed the children of Adam and Eve throughout the land. The Adamites traveled all over the earth and as they went they taught the message of God’s oneness and the knowledge of plants and animals, what to eat and what not to eat, and the knowldge of cleanliness and how to cook food. When the whites begin to emerge from the caves and spread abroad in the earth they came amongst the black children of Adam who were already settled in europe, asia and africa.
So True! Thanks Salhudin Rahim! Amiyn! (Amen)!
I’m so sorry to disagree after you said the whites came out of their caves. The first part is very true Adam and Eve were very dark with tight nappy hair and they are the parents of us all. I think they also had a slight Asian eye look. Whites were in them too.We of all colors were in them. It is like any living being if they mate in one area long enough with out adding new blood the dominunt genes will begin to be common this is how we have all been separated by color and common looks. Adam and Eve were very beautiful people they had all of the races in them for use of a better term. Their is more to the story but then we would get into self segragation as time goes by ” no song intended “
True…but the only people whom possess such a gene are the original people…but it’s not about black and white…it’s about proper acknowledgement…I can talk biology with you all day….as well as anthro…and theory…but the fact is that “black” possess the genetic code that overrides ALL others that it comes into contact with…..hence DOMINANT
Lack of the essential Melanin is not an attribute form Creation. Whenever Science proves that Whites did not exist in the Beginning, they seek refuge in Judaic Religions, forgetting that plagiarized Ancient African texts are the basis for these Religions, which originated from Ancient Egypt Mysteries.
Africa is the oldest of all places, we white people came from people that migrated northward. Over the years of the Pleistocene, lost most of the melanin in their body. The “African” gene is dominant, with the Asiactic gene following and all others are a mutagenic occurrence. (Mutagenisis is when a mutation breeds true after x number of generations) If that angers some people then so be it. I am just stating the facts as I know them as an Anthropologist.
I am an Asatru and I pray to the old Norse Gods and what is strong and true in ones heart is what matters. Not race.
regards.
True…but keep in mind…the white gene is a survivor as well….its an advancement of the early black gene through trial and tribulation for a lack of better terms…WE black people fell to realize that we needed yall to go out and discover and “re-vamp” all of our genetics…so when we came back together “America” we would all benefit from it brother
Thank you Rast LiveWire! This is a HOT post…it got all the way up into 2012.
I am looking for the same thing evidence of Black a Norse :0) I am in Norway now, and think it WONDERFULLLLLL they have some melanin roots!
Thank you again for an OUTSTANDING JOB :0)
do i cross
Dear fellow researchers,
I’m missing here a reference to the fact that Europeans who were brown or black of complexion were called Blue Men. Hence their descendants called themselves Blue Bloods, the highest nobility. The significance for researching these brown and black Europeans to me is that by 1100-1200, they elevated themselves in a nobility who dominated the bourgeois caste and the white serfs. They were defeated with the French Revolution, but due to restorations like the one by Napoleon, the whites, the serfs, were only emancipated in 1848. Then they set out to wipe out the memory of the black domination by the Ancien Regime, and set out to retouch all Old Master portraits that showed the brown and black complexioned elite. Both the ( true) old nobility and bourgeoisie were brown and black of complexion, yet they were like two tribes fighting for power. The bourgeois philosophers invented the human races and racism as an liberation ideology to forge an alliance with the white majority, to defeat the nobles. Europe was ruled by Black Supremacy from 1100-1848, and we do not know this all important fact to really understand racism and the position of Blacks today, because the portraits were whitened. We are being deceived, and this is a serious type of scientific misconduct. Anyone can spot the over paints, they are clearly visible too. Protest the fake portraits and watch how white supremacy and racism will come tumbling down. Not by itself, but by some prodding by people like me who hate racism and white supremacy with a passion. Opened a museum too, to show the black surviving portraits, mostly engravings cut after painted portraits who now look white. Catch my posting of an old photo of Rembrandts group portrait called De Staalmeesters (The Syndics of the Clothmaker Guild) before it was retouched, in google. And portraits of the Van Aerssen-Beyeren family before they were whitened after 1934. We are dealing with people who are still waging battle against an oppression that does not exist, and we need to tell them this. No Black person is out to turn whites into shoe leather again. My research puts Blacks, who are no victims or slaves, right in the middle of history, where they belong.

As mentioned above, if the first people on earth were black, then why is anyone surprised about blacks being all over the world, and that every human originally came from Africa??
There is a new show out next month on the History channel called the Vikings. Naturally they will be portrayed as Nordic looking possibly Danish, Norwegian or Swedish, but they were always seen that way anyway.
I heard of the Black Vikings many years ago and found it an interesting subject that most people do not know about!
For the prejudice of white people lying about history, if they had told the truth from the start no one would be upset or care. The truth WILL always be revealed and will always outshine the lie. Good to see some people on this post knows the truth. That is SO refreshing!
Good blog.
Wow, I’ve never been so amused here by a subject such as this and these so called intellectual Africans trying to claim my heritage as I am Norwegian, and I know what Nordic features are, genrrally blonde hair, blue eyes. You want to call the trutj about a people I see walk around on a daily that still exist here today your own and say to the ones that aren’t being brainwashed a white supremist? Lmao! I am just amused that you really actually believe this bull, speaks volumes on your intelligence. I hope you can actually see how completely stupid you look when there is not one of ypu who can track their family tree to any Scandinavian country during the Viking age. Wake up, and wow again.
