Years: 1606 - 1606
Susenyos manages to first surprise and decimate the forces of Za Sellase at Manta Dafar in Begemder; when Za Sellase escapes to Yaqob's camp, the Emperor's derision causes Za Sellase to defect to Susenyos.
For several days, the armies of the two rival emperors maneuver in the mountains of Gojjam, to at last meet in the Battle of Gol on March 10, 1606, where Yaqob and Abuna Petros II are killed in battle, and his troops slaughtered.
