A Moor. Africa at the time was Moor. The Moors came into Africa soon after capturing part of Spain and they crossed at Gladiator, so every black man who made his way into Europe was called at Moor. Not many did.
'Gladiator'? Do you mean 'Gibraltar'? 'Gladiator' is not a place, it's a Roman fighter. Surely the Moors were in Africa before capturing part of Spain?
The Moor refers to a certain type of Black, with classical African facial traits as: a black complexion, frizzled hear, a flat face, a broad nose, thick and prognastic lips, and high cheeckbones. This type also symbolised pure blood. Othello The Moor is a symbol, and a person. As a symbol of nobility, he is blame less. His demerits are personal. He is the highest ranking person in the play, and the remarks we today see as racist, are really mild criticism of the nobility and kingship by the regent class, the affluent citizens who engaged in trade. Because of descriptions we know there were many Blacks in Europe, they were the first Europeans, but not all conformed to the type of the Moor, as they might have been Asian or fair skinned Africans, or mixed with whites. sill they considered themselves as Blacks.

What is medieval man?
The place of Medieval men in society was not dictated so much by gender It was dictated by sex, or even by which nation they lived in during Medieval times. The main factor that decided where a man's (or usually for that matter, a woman's) place in society was wealth, because wealth dictated your position on the social hierarchy. It is from a position of wealth, or lack of it, that dictated a man's place in Medieval society. For the common peasant, life during Medieval times was hard, brutal, and usually short. The common man had a strong, steadfast belief in God, in the basic virtues of Christianity (as much as he could understand it since scripture was read in Latin), but yet the Devil seemed to be hiding in every alley and behind every tree to force evil, and droughts were not sad pictures on a television screen, but life threatening situations.
