  Queen Charlotte (1744-1818), wife of the English King George III (1738-1820), was directly descended from Margarita
  At least 492 lines of descent can be traced from Queen Charlotte through her triple ancestry from **Margarita de Castro y Sousa to Martin Alfonso de Sousa Chichorro**, the illegitimate son of King Alfonso of Portugal and his Moorish mistress, Oruana/Madragana.

  What was the name prior to Afrika?
  
  Credit to: Sammy Scott on Facebook...
  
  According to Senegalese historian Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, the ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan, which means "mother of mankind" or "garden of Eden". The name was used by the Moors, Nubians, Ethiopians, and other indigenous people.
  
  The name Africa was given to the continent by the ancient Romans and Greeks. Some experts believe that the name Africa comes from two Phoenician words, "friqi" and "pharika", which translate to "corn" and "fruit".
  
  The word "Africa" came into existence in the late 17th century. Initially, it only referred to the northern part of the continent. Around that time, the continent had been colonized, and the Europeans ruled over its people as slaves. They influenced the change of identity from Alkebulan to its present name.

  What Happened To The Original North African Berber (Amazigh)?
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NMZuOmf9RU
  
  What controversy is there?
  
  We're talking about the original Berbers just like the original Romans, Vikings, Greeks, Irish, Scottish, and Europeans that ruled were Black.
  
  Afrikans (ancient Afrika, Kemet--a.k.a ancient Egypt) were Black. Keep in mind white European, Asian, and Arab invaders came later and ruled, and to nicely put it gave the mixture to Afrikans and a lightness of the skin. White Europeans try to replace the original Berbers, Kemet (ancient Egypt), and Afrikan history with their HIS-STORY.
  
  Watch the video, it's very educational and also covers the Black Moors (mostly if not all Muslims) enslavement of white Europeans, in particular white women.
  
  You'll also learn how much of North Afrika became light, and very light, and the coming of white people and non-Black population.

  History does not indicate ancient Black Afrikans who also ruled North Afrika enslaved whites (Caucasians, a.k.a. Jews/Hebrews) or Black Jews/Hebrews in Afrika which tells you more about the allegories in the Bible. It distinctly says it was the Egyptians (Greek word) who were the enslavers.

  There was a time in ancient history when Afrikans traveled to Asia and left their imprint, ruled, bringing their culture, and knowledge, among other things. They mixed with the people there and gave birth to mixed Afrikans. This is why so many Asians today have Afrikan blood in them.
  
  New information revealed there are more Asians with Afrikan blood than previously thought.
  
  Should you decide to study or want to research further than Black History, you need to study ancient Black Afrikan History that covers the 4-corners of the world.
  
  This notion that Black (Negro) people ain't Black Afrikan people and vice-versa is ridiculous. In ancient times, our Afrikan people including the Moors were great navigators and built ships that sailed across the sea, and the world--many migrated to new lands including America long before anyone else.
  
  I don't care how you look at it... We are them (Black Afrikans) and they are us (Black Negros) or any name you want to give us such as Black Aboriginals, Moors, etc. Any fool can look at both people and see a remarkable resemblance.
  
  During slavery, all Blacks from different lands mated willingly or forcibly. The white man raped our Black aboriginal mothers and Black Afrikan mothers repeatedly that bleached our skins.
  
  This also includes white women slave owners doing the same things to Black slaves (men, women, children) the white men did to Black females, males, and children. Recent studies show there were more white women slave owners than previously known.
  
  The ancestry is still Afrikan but many Blacks of all skin colors from different lands want to deny it. I was one of them back in the day when I was extremely ignorant and didn't know my true history or origin. You must study the 4-corners of the world, our Black Afrikan History to get the full history and picture to reach a logical conclusion based on facts.

  Most of our Black brothers and sisters are unaware that Black people (Afrikan) ruled Europe before white Europeans came and battled against them. There were Black aristocrats, royals, and Black Moors that went into Spain and civilized it.
  
  There were Black Romans, Black Greeks, and Black Asians before the white European invasions.
  
  Fact: Afrikans were the first to create and build civilizations.
  
  Complete Falsehood: White Europeans created/built civilization.
  
  And more white lies continue even today that are taught in white European schools, their history books, their media, etc.
  
  Truth is not all hidden and what was hard to find is being revealed now about Black people that whites continue to fear.
  
  You must not continue listening to those history and discovery channels. They are Europeanized and rigged--never telling Black people the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
  
  Watch this video, learn the facts, and find out why white Europeans tried to destroy and remove all Black paintings, busts, books, literature, and history about Blacks ruling European lands.

  The Guitarra morisca or Mandora medieval is a plucked string instrument. It is a lute that has a bulging belly and a sickle-shaped headstock. Part of that characterization comes from a c. 1330 poem, Libro de buen amor by Juan Ruiz, arcipestre de Hita, which described the "Moorish gittern" as "corpulent". The use of the adjective morisca tacked to guitarra may have been to differentiate it from the commonly seen Latin European variety, when the morisca was seen on a limited basis during the 14th century.
  
  Appeared[sic] in the early 9th century, it is an instrument mentioned in the Cantigas de Santa Maria, and by Johannes de Grocheio (towards 1300) who called it quitarra sarracénica. In the 14th century it is known by the term "guitarra morisca", coined by Arcipreste de Hita in Libro de buen amor. It is a hybrid instrument between the guitarra latina and medieval lute, usually played by fingers or plectrum.
  
  It has roots in the four-string Arabic oud, brought to Iberia by the Moors in the 8th century. The guitarra morisca is a direct ancestor of the modern guitar. By the 14th century, the guitarra morisca was simply referred to as a guitar.
  
  The guitarra morisca is an obscure instrument, known mainly from pictures. Early instrument expert Francis William Galpin mentioned the instrument in his book, Old English Instruments of Music (pages 21-22), calling it the "Guitare Moresca" or "Chittara Saraacenica", with its "long neck, oval shaped body and round back." He also felt it related to the Colascione.
