Emperor Lebna Dengel, better known as Dawit II, ruled Ethiopia during one of its most harrowing periods: the invasion of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi, known as Gragn the Left-Handed. This episode explores Dawit II's early reign, his attempts to modernize the Solomonic army with Portuguese matchlock muskets, and his desperate flight as Gragn's forces swept through the highlands. We discuss the 1529 Battle of Shimbra Kure, the loss of sacred treasures like the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, the diplomacy with Portugal via embassies to Lisbon, and the emperor's death in 1540 just before the tide turned at Wayna Daga. Along the way, we look at the role of Queen Eleni as regent, the impact of the Adal Sultanate's alliance with the Ottoman Empire, and how Dawit II's legacy has been overshadowed by both his father and his son. A story of resilience and loss in the Ethiopian highlands. #DawitII #LebnaDengel #GragnAhmed #AdalSultanate #ShimbraKure #WaynaDaga #EthiopianEmpire #PortugueseAlliance #SolomonicDynasty #OttomanEmpire #CristovaoDaGama #QueenEleni #EthiopianHistory #EastAfrica #SixteenthCentury #WarAndResilience #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
