This articles seems a little too.....eulogistic - by all accounts Theodore, though in many ways a reformer was also a bloodthirsty psychopath (Wald Gabr massacre, reduction of Gondar etc) - does nayone want to correct the imbalance in the article or shall I try?--Peteranthony 15:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It seems more like you are the bloodthirsty psychopath. Speak for yourself. British enthusiast!

lol - I am being serious though- fair enough, look's like I'll be doing it myself. --Peteranthony 17:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone should correct the article anyway, after all this man killed tens of thousands in cold (and hot) blood.

[edit] Russian descendents

From the Wikipedia articles it's not clear which is the exact genealogical relationship among Tewodros, Peter Ustinov, Alexandre Benois, Eugene Lanceray, Zinaida Serebryakova, Anna Akhmatova and Leon Benois. Are there more famous Tewodrosids besides Ustinov?
