“blá-maðr, m. A BLACK MAN, NEGRO, i.e. AN ETHIOPIAN, Al. 51, Orkn. 364 (referring to A.D. 1152), distinguished from the Saracens and Arabians; three ‘blámenn’ were sent as a present to the German emperor Frederic the Second, Fms. x. 3: in romances blámenn are mentioned as A KIND OF ‘BERSERKERS,’” q.v., Finnb. ch. 16, Kjalnes. S. ch. 15; cp. Scott’s Ivanhoe, note B. See AN ICELANDIC-ENGLISH DICTIONARY by Richard Cleasby and Gudbrand Vigfusson(1874)
“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)

Santiago ! May I say to thee; thank you for your comment[s].
Think you miss a point; this article is not to take away the heritage of one nation but rather to include the action of AnOther Nation. custom does not alter the Nature of Truth.
Truth of the matter is that if you were not there [?] why would you want to do all that you wrote to write against this work[s] ? From many a source of different writer[s] (by Nationality) there is much written about The Truth as well as against The Truth ! Might I suggest that you invest more time in helping to resolve[s] the lies continued about santa claus/saint nick/christopher columbus/the description of jesus christ (opposed to the standard lies continuously told by your people) first [?]; then you will find your racist remark[s] not identifiable as racist; as you have of your own remark[s] ! (other wise why would you not try to beet someone else to the punch of identifying the meaning for what you wrote as such ?)
Not too sure why you think that what is done in the present; was something of ancient time[s]? (you reference to someone being identified with a prefix based on the colour of their hair [?]). Could not the same be Very Very True of this same practice being done of One[‘s] Hue ? sure it can; as you to cover a possible racist conclusion to your remark[s] account for the Hue of your wife and/or Daughter ? Mmmmmm ? typical ! It is all right when you do it; but not when someone else write[s] to share a point ? work on that; it might be in your best interest (in the event you seek passage into The Third World Country of Chicago/Harlem/New Ark/philadelphia/Watts et al).
In conclusion; Praise ALLAH for you wife; as she choose you ! Praise ALLAH that you Daughter is Productive and/or Strong all of her day[s].
I appreciate the writing[s] of Duncan and/or Dana M; as they are kind enough to include the cross reference source. I would add the name[s] of J. A. Rogers as a Trusted source that I will also cross reference to. You might want to cross reference to : the work[s] of Thor Heyerdahl. Barry Fells book[s] should also assist thee.
The Article is very interesting. Trusting to extend what I have read here; by way of looking more into the topic more deeply for MySelf to see what I can find !
Peace
I thought this blog was quite interesting as well as the comments that were made. I knew of the Vikings and Danes having African ancestry about 19 years ago. I knew that the headpieces the Vikings wore were in honor of the Egyptian goddess Het-Heru (Medu-Netcher) terminology. The horns on the headpieces represented the woman–the cow, the calf were associated with the woman in ancient Egypt.
Egmond Codfried you mentioned that Queen Alexandra, King Edward VII’s wife ‘whited’ her skin using zinc. I thought that was quite interesting, because she could not pass for white to me. I mean she was lightskinned, but her hair was far too “nappy” for her to be white. She must have used alot of zinc. Her mother and daughter could not be white if they wanted to. As for King Edward VII he was also Black. Being Queen Victoria’s son he would have to be. Now I see why Queen Victoria was so unpopular. Queen Victoria was the granddaughter of Queen Sofie Charlotte the German Black princess who married King George III of Great Britain who lost the American colonies. He was another British monarch who was unpopular to have played a pivotal role in American history…hmm…I wonder why?
JBB my response to your statement that the Irish, Danes, etc. are the palest people on the Earth. Well you are wrong, albinos born to two Black people are the palest people on the Earth.
My brother is white.. my sister in law is black.. their kid has white skin and curly RED HAIR.

Notice that the nay-sayers (Whites) provide no documentation to support their blind denials of the Black presence in Europe, Western in particular. The fact is they, Whites, do not begin to penetrate Western Europe until after 1400 BC, before then THEY WERE NOT PRESENT! As they invaded from cold regions of Northern Asia, they moved in a westward direction – including southwest and west invading the African populations throughout Europe. There were no areas in Europe where you did not have a African (Black) presence. After invading the area now known as Greece, White tribes continued their invasions along the routes of Black societies, especially along the Danube River Valley area – from the Mediterranean west to the North Sea (west). The White presence in Western Europe (including England and Ireland) is very recent – including the acts of genocide and pogroms against the African (Black) populations by the White invaders. To get an idea of the impact on the African (Black) populations just think of what the Whites did to the Native ‘Americans’; their genocidal practices were fundamentally the same. A very good reference regarding the African (Black) presence and White invasions in Western Europe see the 2-volume set: Ancient and Modern Briton – by David MacRitchie (1884, since reprinted).
What we all must realize weather we believe it or not,we are one people with many variation.There is no question of that.The reason for this this life begain in Africa this is why white women have what is call the african strain.Not the white male,but the white female retain this gene.
If you ever seen any photos of Albinos in some of the tribes of Africa,they were consider outcast in certain areas,as their population grew they banded togeather,and formed groups, one of these groups were called Berbers.
The Albinos child in the tribe were thought of as having disease,and in many cases were
seperated from the other members. Since like attract like the motion began.
Mankind began in Africa and we all talk about the African despersal but fail to realize that
not all the Africa despersal were about just black people.
