The resistance progressively centered around inquiries of “Solomonic” authenticity. In 1270 a main aristocrat of the region of Shewa, Yekuno Amlak, revolted. He was upheld by a compelling group of devout churchmen, who excused his regicide of Sovereign Yitbarek and legitimated his plunge from Solomon.
