1559 CE

Nur invades Fatagar, where he fights against Geladewos and kills him in battle on March 23, 1559.

Nur will continue fighting for twelve years until, according to legend, at Gibe he says "Kaffa!", or "Enough!", and returns to Harar.

Some believe the province is called Kaffa for this reason.

Menas, a brother of Gelawdewos, is made king at Mengista Samayat, southwest of Debre Werq in Gojjam, and shortly afterwards he campaigns against the Falasha in Semien province.
