A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The History of Ethiopia, hosts Lucas and Luna explore the extraordinary life and legacy of Queen Eleni (also known as Eleni of Ethiopia), a 15th and 16th-century power broker who shaped the course of Ethiopian history. Born a Muslim princess from the kingdom of Hadiya, Eleni was taken as a wife by Emperor Zara Yaqob and later converted to Christianity, rising to become one of the most influential figures in the Solomonic dynasty. As regent and advisor to multiple emperors, she navigated treacherous court politics, forged diplomatic alliances with Portugal, and oversaw ambitious construction projects, including churches and the royal compound. The episode delves into her role in the power struggles following Zara Yaqob's death, her patronage of the arts and religion, and her enduring legacy as a symbol of female authority in a patriarchal society. Listeners will learn about the Hadiya Sultanate, the Ethiopian–Portuguese relations, and the internal conflicts that defined the era before the devastating wars with the Adal Sultanate. This episode offers a fresh perspective on a little-known but pivotal figure who helped shape Ethiopia's medieval identity.
