*how were the "moors" treated throughout history, but most importantly during the elizabethan era? *what stereotypes were associated with the "moors"?

The moors were treated very poorly throughout history. the term moor comes from the name of their homeland, Mauritania. they were classically stereotyped as having odd behavior and associated with over population. They were thought to use bestial force and be dangerous due to their magical powers, dangerous tempers and sexuality.
