ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In 1868, British troops charged into Ethiopia, stormed the citadel of Tewodros II, freed his prisoners and looted his treasures and sacred manuscripts. They also took his son – six-year-old Prince Alamayu – and brought him back to England where he charmed Queen Victoria, chatted with Lord Tennyson and travelled with his guardian Captain Speedy. But the orphan prince was never allowed to return home.
