Jacques Francis
Jacques Francis
Jacques Francis was an African salvage diver who led the expedition to salvage King Henry VIII's guns from the Mary Rose. He was the first African to give evidence in 1548 before a court. He was accused of being a 'slave' and an 'infidel' in an attempt to discredit his evidence, but he was paid wages so he was not a slave and furthermore, slaves weren't allowed to give evidence in court.
