No all czechs and other europeans are white
Is there black character?
Yes It is Black moor medic, traveling with Sigismund army (the bad guy). He is not staying in Bohemia, he is traveling with the army camp, among all other ethinicities and races that Hungarian army consisted off
Is it historically accurate?
not definetlly but it is plausible Hungarian armies consisted from mutliple diverse groups, sometime taking in even parts of asian hordes, or people from Byzantine. Traveling moor Medic could get there, and it would be actually the most plausible way how to get a black character into Central Europe.
Is he feminist and preachy?
No most infamous screenshot is out of context. Henry, who by some sources can call him devil at first, can ask him about his lands. He then says all the good and bad about both lands, showing that every land is different, with different people and different culture. (Against current mutliculturism and wokism) His line about women reflect even todays age Muslim perspective, where they believe that they are better to women as they guard their chastity.
