There weren't that many people of colour in Europe back then. Eastern Europe is still 99% white.

Reminds me of the outrage about the game Kingdom Come Deliverance for not having any black characters.

The game is set in 1403 in Bohemia (Czech Republic). Yes, there were some black people in Europe in that time already. But I'd take a bet that if you went to the villages the game is set in today you wouldn't find a single black person either.
