Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi
There is a tradition that Gudit sacked and burned Debre Damo, an "amba" which at the time was a treasury and a prison for the male relatives of the king; this may be an echo of the later capture and sack of Amba Geshen by Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi. Gudit is known as "ʿEsato" from the word "ʿEsat" in Amharic, which means "fire".
