WI a Zagwe Negua Nagast did a Crusade/Pilgramage?
Lots of Kings went on Crusading pilgramages during the Crusading era, starting with Sigurd of Norway in about 1106-1110, even John and Manuel Komnenos made appearences in the area.

WI one of the new (1137) Zagwe dynasty Negusa Nagast of Ethiopia made a pilgramage, at the head of a armed host, to the holy land during this period? Presumably the Negua Nagast could travel up the Red Sea to the head of the Gulf of Aquaba where the Crusaders had an outpost, and gone on from there.
