Who is queen Batiyo Delwanbero, that name doesn't even sound Somali, Arabic or Ethiopian.

Batiyo Dombiro was the daughter of Mahfuz, the Lord of Zayla and famous general of Adal, she later married Ahmad Guray and was part of the conquest, even when the Adal soldiers pleaded with her to return to safehaven with the other women she refused and instead stayed with the conquering army through two pregnancies no less! In the mountainous areas of Abyssinia she was sometimes carried by two Adal soldiers, hence she acquired the nickname ''Victory is her Throne''.
