	GUDIT , Ethiopia, Orthodox
		Gudit has also been confused with the Princess Mäsobä-Wärq or Terde'a-Gäbäz said to have been instrumental in the transfer of power from the legitimate royal house to the Zagwé, a dynasty of usurpers who seized the throne at some time after the fall of Aksum.
		Thus Gudit herself has sometimes been pictured as the founder of the Zagwé dynasty and is said to have reigned for forty years and to have been succeeded by her descendants.
		In the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria, it is recorded that, during the Patriarchate of Philotheos (979-1003 A.D.), George, the King of Nubia, received an appeal for transmission to the Patriarch from an unnamed ruler of Ethiopia seeking the appointment of a new Metropolitan.

		It is unknown whether the Zagwe dynasty was a descendant of the Solomonic dynasty or whether Gudit herself founded it.
		Historian J.A. Rogers in the early 1900s identified Gudit as one in the same with a fl Hebrew Queen named Esther and associated her with the "Falasha" Jewish dynasty that reigned from 950 to 1260AD.
		Whatever her origins or motives, Queen Gudit remains a controversial figure in the history of Ethiopia where the official chronicles yet attempt to overlook her existence as an aberration.

		There is a tradition that Gudit sacked and burned Debre Damo, which at the time was a treasury and a prison for the male relatives of the king of Ethiopia at the time; this may be an echo of the later capture and sack of Amba Geshen by Ahmed Gragn.
		If Gudit did not belong to one of the Sidamo peoples, then some scholars, based on the traditions that Gudit was Jewish, propose that she was of the Agaw people, who historically have been numerous in Lasta, and a number of whom (known as the Beta Israel, have professed the Jewish religion since ancient times.
		It was during the office of Patriarch Philotheos of Alexandria when Gudit started her revolt, near the end of the reign of the king who had deposed the Abuna Petros.

	Definition of Gudit
		It is believed by many scholars that the warrior queen was ruler of the once-powerful kingdom of Damot, and that her rebellion represented an attempt by one of the indigenous Sidama peoples of southern Ethiopia to avenge harsh treatment by the Christian regime, reassert their independence, and resist absorption by Christian north.
		It is said that this queen, Gudit, adopted the Jewish faith from her husband Zenobis, prince of a kingdom located to the north of Ethiopia on the Red Sea coast, and made it her mission to wipe out Christianity in Ethiopia.
		While the evidence is strong for a queen who treated the Christian establishment harshly, her origins are obscure, partly due to her being identified in a text by a term that hasn't been definitively translated.

	Aksum - Chs. 1-3. by Dr. Stuart Munro-Hay.
		Gudit is said to have attacked the Aksumite kingdom, and driven the king out.
		The legends about the fall of Aksum to Gudit, which seem, from the accounts of the Arab authors, to have derived from events in the later tenth century, do not really militate against this.
		Sartsa Dengel (1563-1597) was the next king after Zara Ya`qob to celebrate his coronation at Aksum, and perhaps at this time he built a small church in the ruins, which probably perished in its turn during the Galla war of 1611.

	Gudit (Site not responding. Last check: )
		'''Gudit''' (or Judith; also known as Esato) is a semi-legendary non-Christian queen (flourished c.960) who laid waste to Axum and its countryside, destroyed churches and monuments, and attempted to exterminate the members of the ruling Axumite dynasty.
		Henze continues in a footnote, :On my first visit to the rock church of Abreha and Atsbeha in eastern Tigray in 1970, I noticed that its intricately carved ceiling was flened by soot.
		This chronological synchronicity with the tenure of Patriarch Philotheos, and the intervention of king Georgios II of Makuria, provides us a date of c.960 for Gudit.

		What we need is for Gudit and her husband to find an amicable way to handle this very emotional and difficult situation without further damaging what’s left of their relationship.
		The reason I disagree with you is not because I think Gudit has not done wrong and her actions justifiable but your lack of recognizing the highly emotional state of being in the position that she is in.
		Again, the reson why GUDIT is mad is not because her husband cheated on her rather her big ego was deflated.

		The story is told that Gudit was born into a royal family in the tenth century, got into trouble, and left Aksum in disgrace.
		By the time Gudit supposedly attacked Aksum, the kingdom had been in decline for centuries, but Gudit is credited with delivering the fatal blow.
		Archaeologists have had difficulty finding hard evidence that Gudit existed, but Aksum probably did suffer a military defeat in the late ninth or early tenth century, when it was at its weakest—stricken by drought, famine, and a devastating plague.

		In a conclusion to the long religious conflict in the empire, Gudit, the head of a large tribal confederation known as the Agaw - which includes the Jewish Falashas - leads an uprising which snatches the Axumite throne, razes much of Axum itself, and destroys much of the ruling Solomonic Dynasty.
		Although it is by no means certain that Gudit left any direct successor, it is accepted that within fifty years of her death Ethiopia was generally governed by the Jewish Zagwe Dynasty.
