Answer 2

John Blanke was a black musician who played the Trumpet and was paid to play in the court of Henry VII, having been noted in payments that recorded his name as "John Blanke, the black trumpeter." Being one of the first recorded black people living in England after the Roman period, very little is known about John Blanke, including the dates of his birth and death. The most that is known is that he lived in London during the early sixteenth century.
