Ethiopian Solomonic dynasty consolidates under Amda Seyon
1318
The warrior-king of Ethiopia launched a campaign against the Muslim sultanates of Ifat and Adal along the eastern lowlands, securing the Christian highlands and the trade routes that fed them. Amda Seyon's conquests doubled his kingdom's reach and cemented the Solomonic myth that Ethiopia's kings descended from Solomon and Sheba.
