Yeah, the parsimonious gene maps of a couple thousand years hence are going to be a hoot. Those who rely on them will not know it, of course. ;’)

My wild guess, it’s probably related to membership in a religious order.

You know it is interesting that there is more pristine Roman architecture in Libya than there is in Rome.
Largely because Rome was sacked by the Visigoths

The city of Rome was under a constant state of being dismantled, usually at night under cover of the moving carts (cart traffic was banned in the daytime); the crooks would pick an unguarded and/or underused building and tear out as much saleable ready-cut stone as they could get, treating existing structures as quarries. Various emperors made proclamations against this practice, to no avail.

In related news, researchers have uncovered the tomb of an early dark ages African in the northern Italian province of Lombardy. The burial site bears the curious inscription
Augustinus Hipponensis. Researchers are befuddled by the presense of this African's grave so far from his home continent.
The point I'm making is how the state of scholarship has deteriorated in the West in such a short time. We've already forgotten how closely inter-connected all of 'Christendom' once was.

In 1270, Crusaders invaded what is now Tunisia and captured Carthage. Maybe this fellow was a POW, a slave, or perhaps a recruit who decided to come back with them.

He must have been given the choice. :’)

Could have arrived there as a result (somehow) of the Crusades; could have come from Tunisia via Italy. Could have been a captive or servant who’d been sold or gifted from one noble house to another.
