Notes
Pardoned Miguel de Castanhoso
Richard F. Burton relates the story that Gelawedewos had been supervising the restoration of Debre Werq when he received a message from Emir Nur challenging him to combat. When the Emperor met the Emir, a priest warned that the angel Gabriel had told him Gelawdewos would needlessly risk his life -- which caused most of the Ethiopian army to flee.
