Actually European countries still produced significantly more science and technology including new science and technology than the islamic world at the same point in time, there were also higher levels of education as well as better quality education in Europe at the time as well, Johannes Guttenberg is 11(close to henry's age) when the first game takes place and would go on to develop the eras single most important piece of technology, the movable type printing press.
Most "technology" and "science" discovered by middle easterners at that time was imported from europe/china and to a lesser extent india, if you compare the capital of mali at the time Niani to Kuttenberg which wasn't even the capital of Bohemia you get single story mud bricks thatched roofs to elegant stonework and flying buttresses.
The writing of this character is so fucking horrendous that he either isn't some cuck historians wet dream or the history departments in joke where they slapped together a completely non-sensical character that somehow managed to shit talk a country he's in while coming from a literal shithole.
Pic related is the quality of artwork coming out of mali during the 15th century.
