In the 15th century, there were hardly any African slaves to be found in Europe at all, with the exception of Portugal. Most 'slaves' in Europe were the (European!) serfs that were working the farm lands on a Lord's estate in the more backward regions of eastern Europe.
A sizable number of Africans had been taken home by Portuguese explorers, to be given to the King and his nobles as a sort of curios. Other Africans were mostly employed in and around the city of Lisbon. Occasional Africans would have been sent from Portugal to friendly Courts such as those of Spain and serve in the same capacity. Their number was neglectible, and even in later centuries black slaves in Europe would never number more than a few thousand in all, mostly serving as pages or guards in a rich person's household.
