Re: Minilik carried a stone before Emperor Yohannes and asked for mercy!
On June 1894, Mengesha Yohanes of Tigrai and his three major lieutenants went to the new capital at Addis Ababa. Within the newly constructed reception hall of the Grand Palace, Emperor Menilik awaited them. He was seated on his throne with a large crown on his head. Mengesha Yohannes and his lieutenants each carried a rock of submission on his shoulder. They approached, prostrated themselves, and asked for forgiveness. Menelik simply declared them pardoned.[2][3]
