A guy from China (Rabban Bar Sawma) visited Europe in the the 13th century. He met the Eastern Roman Emperor, the King of France, the Pope etc.

In the Roman empire a citizen from Numidia might serve in Germania. Throughout most modern, middle ages and classical history it’s quite possible to have non white people in Europe.
