		Shortly after, he is said to have made the difficult pilgrimage to the Holy Land, which had been since 1099 in the hands of the Crusaders, and thus experienced at first hand the dangers and difficulties to which Ethiopian pilgrims were customarily exposed.
		On his return to Ethiopia, Lalibäla made a successful "march on Roha." Tradition holds that Harbay abdicated in favour of his half-brother, acknowledging this to be the will of God.
