Welcome to B1Decoded – Uncovering the Suppressed Histories of Black Europe

This site is a digital archive dedicated to preserving and showcasing the often-overlooked legacy of Black European nobility, scholars, warriors, and everyday citizens. For centuries, the contributions of melanated peoples in Europe have been deliberately erased, whitewashed, or rewritten. At B1Decoded, we aim to bring these truths back to light — through coats of arms, primary source documents, academic research, and visual records.
