Between the 11th and 15th centuries, the Christian kingdoms of Ethiopia and Nubia cultivated conflicting relations with Muslim Egypt and other Muslim entities in the region. These relations were complicated by the presence in Egypt of the Coptic Patriarchate, which appointed the bishops of the kingdoms of Ethiopia and Nubia, and by the existence of Muslim communities in Ethiopia and Nubia. Traditional historiography has long presented the history of Ethiopia as that of a uniformly Christian kingdom while Nubia underwent inevitable Islamization and Arabization. Recent research challenges these simplifications and reveals the complexity of the relations between Christian and Muslim powers.
