I watched some videos the BBC prepared for kids on the history of the British people and from it I learned that probably 1/3 or more of ancient Brits were black. By tudor times I assume it was probably up to 60%. So those facial recreations are definitely wrong.

LOL! England was a magnet for people fleeing religious persecution throughout Europe, so a lot of Italians and other people from Italy, and French, and Germans, etc etc wound up there. By the late 16th c, Shakespeare was writing plays, and in a relatively short career (ending under James I/VI, who loved Shakespeare's work even before he was crowned, such that Shakespeare was one of the people appointed to hold up the royal canopy during the coronation. Oh, but don't forget, Shakespeare was illiterate and was barely able to stand up and hold the canopy at the same time) produced Othello (black protagonist), and collaborated on the unfinished "Sir Thomas More" which was about racial intolerance while superficially about something else (the manuscript is the longest sample of his handwriting in existence).
