"Descent From Antiquity" FROM MOSES: gateway from Africa to
Europe
The Kingdom of Kush [Nubia], called [The] "Sudan" ["The Black Land"],
the ancient name for Central Africa, that is, the Kushite or Nubian
Empire in Africa, whose first capital city was at (a) Qustul [the
oldest city in Africa; called the site of the world's oldest
monarchy], then, at (b) Khartoum, and, finally at (c) Kerma called (1)
the pre-X-Group period c 3000-1000BC.
The Nubian Royal House was not Egypt's "Dynasty 0", as some would
want to make it, for they were entirely separate dynasties, ethnic
groups, and nations [though contemporary].
The Nubians are called Kushites in history-books, which is their
earliest name. The Kushite emperors at one time extended their sway
throughout the whole of Central Africa and had a great empire, which
the Arabs called "The Black Land", that stretched from sea to sea.
It has been overlooked by historians that the Moses of Bible fame
sired a long line of kings. Deut. 9:13-14 records that God told Moses
that "I will make of thee [Moses] a nation mightier and greater than
they [the Hebrews]"; yet, though Moses interceded for the people [the
Hebrews], and turned away God's wrath (v. 18-19, 22-29) it did not
negate God's promise to make Moses a nation.
Legend refers to a civil war in which the main-line of the dynasty
[which relocated elsewhere] challenged the descendants of MOSES,
founder of the Nation Israel and its religion, Judaism, and his [2nd]
"Ethiopian" wife, called T[h]arbis, daughter of Perehu [Piori II],
King of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], and, wife, Queen Iteye [Eti] of Punt [=
Phut] [prob. Libya]. Moses, "Prince of Egypt", army-commander of
Egyptian forces, warred with Nubia, and received the surrender of the
royal citadel at Saba, the Nubian city-state later called "Meroe". It
is unsure exactly when Moses married the Nubian princess; whether then
following the Nubian campaign, or later sent for her? Later,
T[h]arbis, who, due to protests of her marriage by Miriam, who was
Moses' sister, during an episode while encamped in the Sinai Peninsula
(Num. 12:1), returned to her father's court in Nubia carrying Moses'
son (Josephus, "Antiquities", ii, 10.2), whose name is preserved in
ancient texts as Awawa, or spelt: Agaua, who reigned as the first king
of a new dynasty of the Kushite Empire, c 1350BC [dates BC are
approximate].
The Kushite, or Nubian, King Awawa [Agaua] was fiercely disliked by
the Egyptians, who smashed sculptures of the Nubian King or anything
onto which his name was found written when on one occasion the
Egyptians overran the country and destroyed its capital-city, however,
despite their intentions, his name survives!
A later descendant, the Kushite King Nedjeh took over Egyptian forts
along the Egypt-Nubia border during a period of the decline of Egypt's
power and the beginnings of Nubian expansion, c 1000BC. The
descendants of Moses begotten of the Kushite princess became the third
dynasty of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], whose emperors during periods held sway
over the whole of "Black Africa".
The supporters for the son, or heirs, of Moses, prevailed in a civil
war over those of the Kushite/Nubian crown-prince, Qadamawi Akbunas,
representing the male-line of the Kushite royal house who relocated to
Ethiopia, where he established his descendants as Ethiopia's first
dynasty of kings. The first dynasty of Ethiopia at Axum, the Axumite
Empire [Ethiopia], was an off-shoot of the Kushite royal house,
indications are that it was its senior-line overthrown by a
secondary-line, the Mosaic-Line. The original Kushite dynasty of
Ethiopia [52 monarchs] ended in the male-line with an heiress, Queen
Makeda, the famous "Queen of Sheba", whose son by King Solomon of
Israel, Menelik, founded another Axumite dynasty, which by male-line
descent was Jewish by race.
Meantime, the descendants of Moses, styled "Prince of Egypt",
onetime heir to the Egyptian throne, ironically finally sat on Egypt's
throne as Pharaohs, which was Egypt's 25th-Dynasty. It was at this
time that the Nubian capital city was transferred from Kerma to
Napata, near the Nile's Fourth Cataract, called (2) the Napatan Period
1000-500BC, but in the sixth century BC, after the collapse of Nubian
power in Egypt, under threat from the Egyptians, who captured and
destroyed Napata, the capital city was transferred further south to
Meroe, situated between the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts, called (3) the
Meroitic Period 500BC-AD339.
The Kushite Emperor Arkamaniqo [GK: Ergamenes], called "the Nubian
Alexander", was famous throughout the civilized Mediterranean world,
circa 275/250BC. He conquered the whole of Central Africa, and warred
with King Ptolemy II "Philadelphos" of Egypt [285-246BC] in his
expansion northwards.
The Kushite [Nubian] royal house also gave Meroe at least three
queens whose name was Candice: (1) the Nubian queen Candice whom
Alexander "The Great" slept with 332BC, the mother of one of his many
illegitimate sons, who appears to have spawned a new Nubian dynasty
[the "Alexander" dynasty], which only produced one king; (2) there is
another Queen Candice alive in 30BC, and, she must be identified with
Queen Amanirenas, who defeated the Roman forces, under General
Petronius, in battles at Aswan, Philae, and Elephantine, 24-21BC; and
(3) the Queen Candice alive in AD35 who is mentioned in Acts (8:27),
and, who was to later allow the Roman centurions of the Roman Emperor
Nero to pass through Meroe on their way to search for the source of
the Nile in AD60.
There was an uninterrupted line of succession for over a thousand
years until AD 339, when the Kushite or Nubian Empire of Sudan [Nubia]
was conquered by King Aeizanes of Axum [Ethiopia]; who took captive
the Nubian Royal House back to Ethiopia at first as prisoners, who
were later released and became powerful Ethiopian chieftains, whose
descendants in Ethiopia became the Agew tribe, whose hereditary
chieftains were Ethiopia's Zagwe Dynasty, whose name "Zagwe" is
thought to be derived from the words "Ze" + "Agew" [= which means "of
Agew"], whose tribal seat was located at various sites, including
modern Gojjam, and eventually establishing themselves at Rhoa in the
Ethiopian province of Lasta.
Meantime, the crippled Nubian Nation continued to be governed by
three rival contenders of the dispossessed Old Nubian Royal House,
supported by their own political parties, established three rivaling
governments-in-exile; (a) one at Faras, (b) another at Dongola, and
(c) the third at Shobo [which was also called the Alwah kingdom],
which were the three successor-states to the Nubian Kingdom of Meroe.
The dynasties of these three city-states represented three branches of
the Meroitic Royal House, meantime, another branch, the Zawge,
flourished in the Ethiopian province of Lasta, which is called (4) the
sub-X-Group period AD 300s-1300s; after then the Nubians were
conquered by Islamic Arabians who destroyed the three Nubian kingdoms.
The remnants of the Nubians established themselves in many
petty-states in Central Africa on the Niger River, one of which,
Mbanza Kongo, capital-city of (5) the Congo kingdom, called the
new-X-Group period, grew to be the capital-city of the great Congolese
empire, which was the last great native Kushite/Nubian empire in
Africa of the Pre-European Period, circa AD 1300s to the 1500s.
The kingdom fell into decline after the death of King Nzinga-Mpangu,
whose son, Henrique, was pressured to abdicate by the Portugese, in
1568, ending the great age of the ancient dynasty of the Kushite
kings/emperors.
Meantime, the Zagwe [the Mosiac Line] thrived in Ethiopia and even
onetime established itself on the Ethiopian throne. quote:
http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Ethiopia/zagwe.htm gives much the same
information as "Host Kingdom", and states, the Zagwe usurped the
Ethiopian throne and held it about 300 years. There were eleven Zagwe
emperors. The last was convinced to step aside and allow the "rightful
[Solomonic] heir", Yekonu Amlak, to assume the throne.

Emperor 999-1039.
quote: the name 'Haymanot' is a vernacularization of Hadrahmut, or
Himyar, a kingdom in the South of the Arabian peninsula, with which
Axum and/or Abyssinia had had dealings, and alliances for years.
Perhaps Takle Haymanot's ancestors came thence to eventually
assimilated with the Axumites?
response: or, Himyar, whose capital-city was Zafar [Tafar], could have
once served as the family's seat during periods of anarchy on the
African continent. Takle was the son of the Himyarite chief Qatban
Awkan, a Mosiac, i.e., Zagwe, Prince. The family long held to its
descendent from Moses. His mother, Agraba, was the daughter of the
Sabaean king Alhan Nahfan II. The joint struggle against Himyar
brought Saba and Axum into alliance. It was at this time that the
family returned to its ancestral-estate in Ethiopia, in the province
called "Lasta", where the family was established by their Ethiopian
conquerors in AD 339 following the destruction of their kingdom, Sudan
[Nubia], which once held sway over the whole of Central Africa "from
sea to sea".
quote:http://www.soas.ac.uk/Africa/courseunits/cultural/epc/EPCLECTURE4.html
suggest that Mara Takle Haymanot, founder of the Zagwe dynasty,
married Masoba-Warq, a daughter of the last Aksumite king, that is,
the Ethiopian Emperor Delnaad, whom Mara Takle-Haymanot had
overthrown. The phrase, "[...] rise of Zagwe as result of marriage
between an Aksumite princess called Mesoba Warq [ëBasket of Goldí] and
the Zagwe prince, called Terda Gabaz in king-lists"; there were eleven
Zagwe emperors; their heirs bore the title "Wagshum" from 1270 to the
Revolution of 1974. The Abdication Settlement grants them the right to
sit on a throne, to have the great "negarit" drum beaten for them in
salute on certain occasions, and were allowed to maintain their own
militia. They were granted the privilege of being seated in the
imperial presence, so long as the Ethiopian Emperor was also seated.
The Solomonic Emperors honored this treaty until the fall of the
Ethiopian Monrachy 804 years later.

Herbe [Harbre I], 6th Zagwe Emperor 1079-1119 [father of Naakweto
Laab, 8th Zagew Emperor 1159-1207; (2) Lalibela, 7th Zagwe Emperor
1119-1159 [father of Yetbarak, 9th Zagwe Emperor]; and, their sister,
(3) Qirwerne (below)
1119-1159 98. Lalibela, 7th Zawge Emperor, whose sister, Qirwerne, was
ancestress of Queen Elizabeth of Britain, see descent-line below
The most famous Zagwe Emperor of Ethiopia was Lalibela. The "History
of the Patriarchs", which usually just refers to the kings
anonymously, calls him, "Lalibala son of Shanuda ["the Lion"], of the
race of al-Nakba". Other sources add his throne-name, Gabra Masqal,
and an epithet, '_be'esi `azzal_', `the strong man'.
There is a story that the Ethiopian Emperor Lalibela, who,
accompanied by his "troublesome" sister, Qirwerne, traveled to the
Holy Land and visited the Byzantine Emperor at Constantinople. There
at the imperial court he and his sister may have met Izyaslav II of
Kiev who was there visiting the emperor during the time of their
visit. There are also undocumented legends about him and his sister
that probably are based on actual events. Everyone of these without
exception says that his sister remained at the imperial court at
Constantinople after Lalibela returned to Ethiopia. quote: Where,
according to Ethiopian history, he had to put down an uprising, or
attempted _coup d'état_, spawned by his brother and sister. This is
purportedly because of his contact with Lalibela, on pilgrimage. I
surmise that it is possible that Lalibela put down his brother and
sister, before he went on the pilgrimage. I could not find a definite
date for either. Going far from his nation for what should have been a
protracted time, he took his rebellious sister with him, in order to
keep an eye on her; that the rebel sister was none other than
Qirwerne. If this were the case, what would have been more natural
than for him to leave her in Constantinople, out of troubles' way?
Meantime, the Ethiopian Princess married twice: once [in 1153] to
Izyaslav II of Kiev (d1154) to whom she bore his posthumous daughter,
Euphrosyne; according to Philipp Strahl's "Geschichte des Russischen
Staates", 3 vols. (1866), and, upon returning to Constantinople after
her first husband's death, Qirwerne married secondly [in 1158] to
Andronikos Dukas Kamateros (d1176), by whom she was the mother of
Euphrosyne (d1211), wife/empress of the Byzantine Emperor Alexius III
(d1210), which gives a "gateway" from Africa to Europe [see below]
[note: the story about the involvement of an un-named widow of an
un-named king and Andronikos Kamateros [reminds one of the story of
the sister of England's King Henry VIII, namely, Princess/Queen Mary,
widow of King Louis XII of France, and her subsequent involvement and
marriage to Charles Brandon] is the basis for the identification of
the second husband of the Ethiopian princess, for circumstantial
evidence clearly identifies this un-named widow to have been
Lalibela's "troublesome" sister, Qirwerne, and the un-named king to
have been Izyaslav II, her first husband who died shortly after their
marriage.]

Europe
The Kingdom of Kush [Nubia], called [The] "Sudan" ["The Black Land"],
the ancient name for Central Africa, that is, the Kushite or Nubian
Empire in Africa, whose first capital city was at (a) Qustul [the
oldest city in Africa; called the site of the world's oldest
monarchy], then, at (b) Khartoum, and, finally at (c) Kerma called (1)
the pre-X-Group period c 3000-1000BC.
The Nubian Royal House was not Egypt's "Dynasty 0", as some would
want to make it, for they were entirely separate dynasties, ethnic
groups, and nations [though contemporary].
The Nubians are called Kushites in history-books, which is their
earliest name. The Kushite emperors at one time extended their sway
throughout the whole of Central Africa and had a great empire, which
the Arabs called "The Black Land", that stretched from sea to sea.
It has been overlooked by historians that the Moses of Bible fame
sired a long line of kings. Deut. 9:13-14 records that God told Moses
that "I will make of thee [Moses] a nation mightier and greater than
they [the Hebrews]"; yet, though Moses interceded for the people [the
Hebrews], and turned away God's wrath (v. 18-19, 22-29) it did not
negate God's promise to make Moses a nation.
Legend refers to a civil war in which the main-line of the dynasty
[which relocated elsewhere] challenged the descendants of MOSES,
founder of the Nation Israel and its religion, Judaism, and his [2nd]
"Ethiopian" wife, called T[h]arbis, daughter of Perehu [Piori II],
King of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], and, wife, Queen Iteye [Eti] of Punt [=
Phut] [prob. Libya]. Moses, "Prince of Egypt", army-commander of
Egyptian forces, warred with Nubia, and received the surrender of the
royal citadel at Saba, the Nubian city-state later called "Meroe". It
is unsure exactly when Moses married the Nubian princess; whether then
following the Nubian campaign, or later sent for her? Later,
T[h]arbis, who, due to protests of her marriage by Miriam, who was
Moses' sister, during an episode while encamped in the Sinai Peninsula
(Num. 12:1), returned to her father's court in Nubia carrying Moses'
son (Josephus, "Antiquities", ii, 10.2), whose name is preserved in
ancient texts as Awawa, or spelt: Agaua, who reigned as the first king
of a new dynasty of the Kushite Empire, c 1350BC [dates BC are
approximate].
The Kushite, or Nubian, King Awawa [Agaua] was fiercely disliked by
the Egyptians, who smashed sculptures of the Nubian King or anything
onto which his name was found written when on one occasion the
Egyptians overran the country and destroyed its capital-city, however,
despite their intentions, his name survives!
A later descendant, the Kushite King Nedjeh took over Egyptian forts
along the Egypt-Nubia border during a period of the decline of Egypt's
power and the beginnings of Nubian expansion, c 1000BC. The
descendants of Moses begotten of the Kushite princess became the third
dynasty of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], whose emperors during periods held sway
over the whole of "Black Africa".
The supporters for the son, or heirs, of Moses, prevailed in a civil
war over those of the Kushite/Nubian crown-prince, Qadamawi Akbunas,
representing the male-line of the Kushite royal house who relocated to
Ethiopia, where he established his descendants as Ethiopia's first
dynasty of kings. The first dynasty of Ethiopia at Axum, the Axumite
Empire [Ethiopia], was an off-shoot of the Kushite royal house,
indications are that it was its senior-line overthrown by a
secondary-line, the Mosaic-Line. The original Kushite dynasty of
Ethiopia [52 monarchs] ended in the male-line with an heiress, Queen
Makeda, the famous "Queen of Sheba", whose son by King Solomon of
Israel, Menelik, founded another Axumite dynasty, which by male-line
descent was Jewish by race.
Meantime, the descendants of Moses, styled "Prince of Egypt",
onetime heir to the Egyptian throne, ironically finally sat on Egypt's
throne as Pharaohs, which was Egypt's 25th-Dynasty. It was at this
time that the Nubian capital city was transferred from Kerma to
Napata, near the Nile's Fourth Cataract, called (2) the Napatan Period
1000-500BC, but in the sixth century BC, after the collapse of Nubian
power in Egypt, under threat from the Egyptians, who captured and
destroyed Napata, the capital city was transferred further south to
Meroe, situated between the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts, called (3) the
Meroitic Period 500BC-AD339.
The Kushite Emperor Arkamaniqo [GK: Ergamenes], called "the Nubian
Alexander", was famous throughout the civilized Mediterranean world,
circa 275/250BC. He conquered the whole of Central Africa, and warred
with King Ptolemy II "Philadelphos" of Egypt [285-246BC] in his
expansion northwards.
The Kushite [Nubian] royal house also gave Meroe at least three
queens whose name was Candice: (1) the Nubian queen Candice whom
Alexander "The Great" slept with 332BC, the mother of one of his many
illegitimate sons, who appears to have spawned a new Nubian dynasty
[the "Alexander" dynasty], which only produced one king; (2) there is
another Queen Candice alive in 30BC, and, she must be identified with
Queen Amanirenas, who defeated the Roman forces, under General
Petronius, in battles at Aswan, Philae, and Elephantine, 24-21BC; and
(3) the Queen Candice alive in AD35 who is mentioned in Acts (8:27),
and, who was to later allow the Roman centurions of the Roman Emperor
Nero to pass through Meroe on their way to search for the source of
the Nile in AD60.
There was an uninterrupted line of succession for over a thousand
years until AD 339, when the Kushite or Nubian Empire of Sudan [Nubia]
was conquered by King Aeizanes of Axum [Ethiopia]; who took captive
the Nubian Royal House back to Ethiopia at first as prisoners, who
were later released and became powerful Ethiopian chieftains, whose
descendants in Ethiopia became the Agew tribe, whose hereditary
chieftains were Ethiopia's Zagwe Dynasty, whose name "Zagwe" is
thought to be derived from the words "Ze" + "Agew" [= which means "of
Agew"], whose tribal seat was located at various sites, including
modern Gojjam, and eventually establishing themselves at Rhoa in the
Ethiopian province of Lasta.
Meantime, the crippled Nubian Nation continued to be governed by
three rival contenders of the dispossessed Old Nubian Royal House,
supported by their own political parties, established three rivaling
governments-in-exile; (a) one at Faras, (b) another at Dongola, and
(c) the third at Shobo [which was also called the Alwah kingdom],
which were the three successor-states to the Nubian Kingdom of Meroe.
The dynasties of these three city-states represented three branches of
the Meroitic Royal House, meantime, another branch, the Zawge,
flourished in the Ethiopian province of Lasta, which is called (4) the
sub-X-Group period AD 300s-1300s; after then the Nubians were
conquered by Islamic Arabians who destroyed the three Nubian kingdoms.
The remnants of the Nubians established themselves in many
petty-states in Central Africa on the Niger River, one of which,
Mbanza Kongo, capital-city of (5) the Congo kingdom, called the
new-X-Group period, grew to be the capital-city of the great Congolese
empire, which was the last great native Kushite/Nubian empire in
Africa of the Pre-European Period, circa AD 1300s to the 1500s.
The kingdom fell into decline after the death of King Nzinga-Mpangu,
whose son, Henrique, was pressured to abdicate by the Portugese, in
1568, ending the great age of the ancient dynasty of the Kushite
kings/emperors.
Meantime, the Zagwe [the Mosiac Line] thrived in Ethiopia and even
onetime established itself on the Ethiopian throne. quote:
http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Ethiopia/zagwe.htm gives much the same
information as "Host Kingdom", and states, the Zagwe usurped the
Ethiopian throne and held it about 300 years. There were eleven Zagwe
emperors. The last was convinced to step aside and allow the "rightful
[Solomonic] heir", Yekonu Amlak, to assume the throne.

Zan-Seyum, 3rd Zagwe Emperor 959-999; & (3) Germa-Seyum, 4th Zagwe
Emperor 999-1039.
quote: the name 'Haymanot' is a vernacularization of Hadrahmut, or
Himyar, a kingdom in the South of the Arabian peninsula, with which
Axum and/or Abyssinia had had dealings, and alliances for years.
Perhaps Takle Haymanot's ancestors came thence to eventually
assimilated with the Axumites?
response: or, Himyar, whose capital-city was Zafar [Tafar], could have
once served as the family's seat during periods of anarchy on the
African continent. Takle was the son of the Himyarite chief Qatban
Awkan, a Mosiac, i.e., Zagwe, Prince. The family long held to its
descendent from Moses. His mother, Agraba, was the daughter of the
Sabaean king Alhan Nahfan II. The joint struggle against Himyar
brought Saba and Axum into alliance. It was at this time that the
family returned to its ancestral-estate in Ethiopia, in the province
called "Lasta", where the family was established by their Ethiopian
conquerors in AD 339 following the destruction of their kingdom, Sudan
[Nubia], which once held sway over the whole of Central Africa "from
sea to sea".
quote:http://www.soas.ac.uk/Africa/courseunits/cultural/epc/EPCLECTURE4.html
suggest that Mara Takle Haymanot, founder of the Zagwe dynasty,
married Masoba-Warq, a daughter of the last Aksumite king, that is,
the Ethiopian Emperor Delnaad, whom Mara Takle-Haymanot had
overthrown. The phrase, "[...] rise of Zagwe as result of marriage
between an Aksumite princess called Mesoba Warq [ëBasket of Goldí] and
the Zagwe prince, called Terda Gabaz in king-lists"; there were eleven
Zagwe emperors; their heirs bore the title "Wagshum" from 1270 to the
Revolution of 1974. The Abdication Settlement grants them the right to
sit on a throne, to have the great "negarit" drum beaten for them in
salute on certain occasions, and were allowed to maintain their own
militia. They were granted the privilege of being seated in the
imperial presence, so long as the Ethiopian Emperor was also seated.
The Solomonic Emperors honored this treaty until the fall of the
Ethiopian Monrachy 804 years later.

X(1000)X 97. Mairari, Prince, son of Zan-Seyum, 3rd Zagwe Emperor

Herbe [Harbre I], 6th Zagwe Emperor 1079-1119 [father of Naakweto
Laab, 8th Zagew Emperor 1159-1207; (2) Lalibela, 7th Zagwe Emperor
1119-1159 [father of Yetbarak, 9th Zagwe Emperor]; and, their sister,
(3) Qirwerne (below)
1119-1159 98. Lalibela, 7th Zawge Emperor, whose sister, Qirwerne, was
ancestress of Queen Elizabeth of Britain, see descent-line below
The most famous Zagwe Emperor of Ethiopia was Lalibela. The "History
of the Patriarchs", which usually just refers to the kings
anonymously, calls him, "Lalibala son of Shanuda ["the Lion"], of the
race of al-Nakba". Other sources add his throne-name, Gabra Masqal,
and an epithet, '_be'esi `azzal_', `the strong man'.
There is a story that the Ethiopian Emperor Lalibela, who,
accompanied by his "troublesome" sister, Qirwerne, traveled to the
Holy Land and visited the Byzantine Emperor at Constantinople. There
at the imperial court he and his sister may have met Izyaslav II of
Kiev who was there visiting the emperor during the time of their
visit. There are also undocumented legends about him and his sister
that probably are based on actual events. Everyone of these without
exception says that his sister remained at the imperial court at
Constantinople after Lalibela returned to Ethiopia. quote: Where,
according to Ethiopian history, he had to put down an uprising, or
attempted _coup d'état_, spawned by his brother and sister. This is
purportedly because of his contact with Lalibela, on pilgrimage. I
surmise that it is possible that Lalibela put down his brother and
sister, before he went on the pilgrimage. I could not find a definite
date for either. Going far from his nation for what should have been a
protracted time, he took his rebellious sister with him, in order to
keep an eye on her; that the rebel sister was none other than
Qirwerne. If this were the case, what would have been more natural
than for him to leave her in Constantinople, out of troubles' way?
Meantime, the Ethiopian Princess married twice: once [in 1153] to
Izyaslav II of Kiev (d1154) to whom she bore his posthumous daughter,
Euphrosyne; according to Philipp Strahl's "Geschichte des Russischen
Staates", 3 vols. (1866), and, upon returning to Constantinople after
her first husband's death, Qirwerne married secondly [in 1158] to
Andronikos Dukas Kamateros (d1176), by whom she was the mother of
Euphrosyne (d1211), wife/empress of the Byzantine Emperor Alexius III
(d1210), which gives a "gateway" from Africa to Europe [see below]
[note: the story about the involvement of an un-named widow of an
un-named king and Andronikos Kamateros [reminds one of the story of
the sister of England's King Henry VIII, namely, Princess/Queen Mary,
widow of King Louis XII of France, and her subsequent involvement and
marriage to Charles Brandon] is the basis for the identification of
the second husband of the Ethiopian princess, for circumstantial
evidence clearly identifies this un-named widow to have been
Lalibela's "troublesome" sister, Qirwerne, and the un-named king to
have been Izyaslav II, her first husband who died shortly after their
marriage.]
