Sultan Mansur ad-Din was victorious after a siege lasting two months.
[2] Early in his reign he launched an expedition against an Ethiopian Christian monarch, Emperor Dawit and drove him to Yedaya which was described as his royal seat, destroyed the Solomonic army , where according to Maqrizi, he was captured and killed.
[3] His death however presumed to be an event of major importance, is not recorded by the Ethiopian Chronicles.
The Ethiopian historian Taddesse Tamrat argues it's because the Ethiopian royal chronicles often deliberately attempted to suppress the violent deaths of the kings whose reigns they extol.
He then advanced to Mukha mountain (or Moha), where 30,000 imperial soldiers were besieged for two months before a truce was declared.
