As for Leicester it seems to have come from the "Old English" as Ligera ceastre. Not sure the Moors ever had it.
The name Leicester used to be a bone of contention for me, Kris. But closer observation of the Vikings, Germans, Normans, Gaels, Moores, and subsequent duchies and fiefs devolving via shifting borders and migrations in Inglaterra represents the common dynamic of human interactions.
Adam, for example, is a prominent Somali name, which has morphed to Aaden in Europe.
Hmmm, this guy might be my ancestor -- Brotha Leicester
Okay, so I finally was able to read more on George Cole and he's as legit as you can get, given the system under which he had to operate..
Dude is a brainiac in the real sense - a computer engineer, university lecturer, radio presenter, and with all that still able to create & run his own business.
Good lord, he makes me feel so underachieved .
George Cole appears to be very Afrocentric in terms of his overview on the Black experience & the need for Black children in the UK to be educated in authentic Black History.etc..
Oh lawwwd, and did I mention that he's married to a Black Queen? Gosh, that's gonna destroy Kris Columbus .
