It depends on the part of the Continent you're talking about. Some of them were princesses.

Undiscovered by the Europeans until the late 16th/early 17th Century.

According to history books the earliest colonies in the Americas (then known as the "New World") began around the late 1490's.

Independently of one-another there were many indigeneous lands in the "New World" which were colonized by the English, French and Spanish.

The earliest of which being the Spanish conquest on South America in 1492, under the leadership of Christopher Colombus.

The French colony known as New France (which is Present-day Quebec) in 1534 under the leadership of Jacques Cartier.

As well as the first North American English colony known as Jamestown in 1607, named after King James the 1st.

There was no america in the 11th century.

European women were either nobles or peasants.

Same as today just different methodolgy.

@GuyWithOpinions I don't know when the term "Europe" first emerged, but the Eleventh Century was many hundreds of years after the Ancient Britons, Gauls and Roman Empire era!

It was the century of the Norman invasion of England though (in 1066) - and the Normans were descendants of the Norsemen (Scandinavians) who had settled in what became France.

@ArishMell you got the history books 🤷‍♂
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@GuyWithOpinions I do have some text-books, but I have only a broad, fairly basic knowledge of the subject. Not deep, detailed knowledge with lots of dates and names.

There were no American women then
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@CurrentName There were.... Only they did not call themselves "American" and were not European settlers / descendant of settlers.
CurrentName · 51-55, M
@ArishMell
Sigh
Then they weren't American Sir.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@CurrentName No - I said that! They were of the continents we call the "Americas" but they didn't coin that name for their land and themselves.
