What a load of codswollop!! New world black people did not exist at all because the new world did not exist. Point one. Africans OTOH did travel to mainland Europe and Britain. There is plenty of evidence of African people in Europe, though just not as many as would come after the Renaissance.
The African chambermaid in Portugal probably exists somewhat because of the evidence of black ancestry of one branch of the Portuguese royal family, this person was one of the ancestors of Queen Charlotte, Queen Consort of George III, grandmother of Queen Victoria.
Alessandro de Medici (b.1510) was also, mixed race,having a black mother who worked for the Florentine rulers.
The Spanish Expulsion has nothing to do with "black" people, In Moorish Spain, Jews and Muslims lived side by side very well (if you can believe that now....) and in fact many Jews went back to Moorish territories after the expulsion. After the re-conquest, the point was reclaiming Iberia for Christianity, Jews were therefore persecuted, forced to convert and finally expelled.
