A short film for secondary schools, presented by David Olusoga, which explores the lives of some of the hundreds of black migrants who were in England during the Tudor period.
Olusoga visits The National Archives in Kew, where he meets Dr. Miranda Kaufmann.
They discuss John Blanke, a trumpeter in the court of Henry VIII, who was so well established that he actually submitted a request for a pay rise, and a diver, Jacques Francis, who gave evidence in a court case.
Dr. Kaufmann concludes that some black people in England were accorded greater privileges than many white English people at the time.
