History of Ethiopia - The Ethiopian Dark Ages
About 1000 (presumably c 960), a non-Christian princess, Judith, conceived the design of murdering all the members of the royal family, and of establishing herself in their stead. According to legends, during the execution of the royals, an infant heir of the Axumite monarch was carted off by some faithful adherents, and conveyed to Shewa, where his authority was acknowledged, while Judith reigned for forty years over the rest of the kingdom, and transmitted the crown to her descendants.
At one point in the next century, the last of Judith's successors were overthrown by an Agaw lord named Mara Takla Haymanot, who founded the Zagwe dynasty and married a female descendant of Axumite monarchs ("son-in-law") or previous ruler. One of the highlight stages of this dynasty was the reign of Gebra Maskal Lalibela, in whose reign the stone churches of Lalibela were carved.
In about 1270, a new dynasty established the Abyssinian highlands as their realm in person of Yekuno Amlak who deposed the last of the Zagwe kings and married one of their daughters. According to legends the new dynasty were male-line descendants of Axumite monarchs, now recognized as the continuing Solomonid dynasty (the kingdom being thus restored to the biblical royal house).
