THEWould Europe have been ruled by an elite of African origin, said to be of blue blood or simply black as would suggest descriptions of kings and queens and various members of European royalty such as Philippa de Hailnault, described as having skin? brunette or black, wife of King Edward III, their son, Prince Edward, nicknamed the Black Prince, or Queen Charlotte wife of King George III of Great Britain, Charles II Stuart nicknamed The Black Boy and many others? In a quest for historical truth, different theses are exposed and confronted in the work “Du Sang Bleu à l'Encre Noire”, where the author also explores the various scientific theories (anthropological and genetic, in particular) to understand the population of Europe and determine the exact period when the descendants of Homo sapiens from Africa lost their original black skin color and turned white. It also examines the various invasions of populations and the interbreeding that occurred on European soil from ancient Greece until the end of the Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula.

Queen Charlotte of England (1744-1818)
Charlotte of England was the wife of King George III. She landed in England on September 7, 1761, and the next day met her husband for the first time in Saint-James. They were married that same evening and their coronation took place on September 22 of that year. Queen Charlotte was the direct descendant of Margarita de Castro e Souza, of the Portuguese nobility of the 15th century. The family is descended from Alfonso III, a 13th century Moor.
