		Local tradition of Hamasen, recorded in Johannes Kolmodin’s memorable study, the Traditions de Tsazzega et Hazzega, tells of many nobles from the area who travelled to Gondar to serve in the Emperor’s court, and were subsequently appointed by the Ethiopian monarch to positions of status in their localities.
		When the Turks again attempted to interfere with imports, in the late seventeenth century, Emperor Iyasu I, whose wife Walatta Seyon was a noblewoman of Hamasen, made his way to the area, and broke the blockade.
