Greetings ato noble amhara,

My sources were the memoires narrated by tedros captives such as rassam or Dr. Blanc which I read.

Both of them were meeting tedros on daily basis, hence they narrated in detail the behavior and outlook of tedros as a person and not as a king. It was not out of the blue.

A tip, if you happen to visit london, I recommend that you visit the famous victoria and albert museum and ask the information office to help you find the memoirs of napier, rassam, dr. Blanc...

I did when I paid a visit to the UK more than 2 decades ago.

Regarding the handsome alemayehu tedros, perhaps he looked like his mother (just my opinion if I have to believe the ferenjis).

The mother of alemayehu was itge truwerk wubbe. She was the daughter of dejach wubbe, the famous warlord of Simien and south tigray. Tedros married her when she was only 13 years and all contemporay missionaries who knew her agree that she was very beautiful.Tedros married truwerk after the sudden death of his beloved wife tewabech, the daughter of ras ali.

Regarding mestewat, "the galla" queen as mentioned in napier's memoir, once the brits encircled the magdalla enclave, she with her militias joined the brits.

When the battle was over, she begged lord napier to allow her to see the corpse of tedros and napier concured.

According to the memoir of napier, mestewat admired the bravery of tedros. She never saw him alive while whenever he was raiding her areas with his troops, she was climbing up to high mountains and hiding along with her people there.

P.S. Queen victoria was interested on alemayehu. She took the full responsibility of him.

Poor alemayehu suffered a lot due to the loss of his parents and the discrimination he encoutered in England. According to contemporary historians, he was always sad, islolated at school because of his skin color and never ever smiled. He died at youg age when he was merely 18 years old.

Tena yistilgn.

There is misunderstanding between both of us.

You shared with us here a portrait of tedros in which he looks like a greece or portuguese.

But all contemporay be it missionaries, visitors, captives etc..who met met tedros face to face narrated the following and they all agree on it:

Unlike any average abysinian by contrast tedros was darker in skin color, flat nosed and with a relatively wide mouth. Health wise, he was suffering from epilepsy (brain disorder). Behaviour wise, he was always drunk.

Now tell me, whom should I believe the 10s who met tedros face to face or the anonymous dude who painted tedros' portrait out of the blue a century later and who made him look like a portuguese.

Give me a break man.
