The Plight of Iyasu and Ras Hailu of Gojjam
His surrender was considered crucial to the war effort in Gojjam as a good portion of the population still regarded him as their rightful prince, so the Emperor was persuaded with some difficulty, to swallow his anger.
He was always prevented from returning to Gojjam, confined to remain in Addis Ababa where he could be watched, but receiving all the honour and protocol of a Prince of the Imperial House.

The news of the Emperor's arrival and the rallying of his forces, in combination with the veterans of the Empress army and the Portuguese, sent a tremor of hope through the Christian population.
Soon both the nobility and the army were in forment, and the Emperor tried to flee to his mother's native Simien, but he was captured and taken along with his brothers in chains to Enaria in the custody of Dejazmatch Ze Silassie, subsequently elevated to Ras.
Although this won the Emperor new friends, and he was reconciled with the Dowager Empress, it did not change the fact that the clergy and most of the country regarded Susneyos as the murderer of the Archbishop, a crime unequaled in the history of the Christian Empire (in their eyes).

Tekle Haimanot of Gojjam was initially closer to the Emperor than Menelik of Shewa, but Yohannis' approach to a loose federal structure for his Empire would eventually encourage the ambitions of both these two vassal kings.
Menelik claimed the entire south for himself and did not regard the King of Gojjam's title as king of Kaffa to be legitimate nor enforceable by either the King of Gojjam or the Emperor himself.
The King of Gojjam was punished by the Emperor, recognizing that Menelik, King of Shewa, was the true ruler of Keffa.
