this regard, what is written in the chronicle coincides with the oral information. In addition, the chronicle in most cases corresponds with the reading of Castanhoso and the work of Castanhoso is more devoted to recount the history from the Portuguese perspective, particularly before they contacted King Gälawdewos. However, the chronicle does not tell us what happened to the Portuguese after the war. Many Portuguese sources confirm that they were well treated in the court and they were donated some land. The letter of the king indicates that he had good heart for the Portuguese until his death. Many Jesuit missionaries, with the exception of Bermudez, state that Gälawdewos was kind to them. In addition, the chronicler mentions the kind treatment of the people who had been driven by Oromo in the war of 1557.
Finally, the Chronicle dedicates a very small chapter for the religious disputes between the King and the Portuguese missionaries whereby he overemphasizes the victory of the church people from Ethiopian side undermining the Portuguese missionaries which were led by the Oviedo. However, the chronicler does not have the arguments of the missionary side that still looked at the Chronicle is one-sided.
This article is not only limited to commenting on the failure of the Chronicle on the points raised in the Chronicle, but I suppose, however, abundant stories of Portuguese soldiers neglected in the Chronicle. Although Gälawdewos has succeeded in restoring the peace and stability of the kingdom, he has always faced challenges: fighting against the rapid expansion of Oromo, the revival of Muslim states, the strengthening of the kingdom with various people (Gämbo, Gumär), in all these campaigns the Portuguese engaged with the king and keeping him until his death, which emerges from the Portuguese sources and from the letter of the King. According to data gathered from the text, the king participated in more than eight battles after the arrival of Portuguese until his death 1559, in most of these battles Portuguese soldiers joined the king. None of these facts described in the Chronicle – his campaign for the Gambo, Oromo, Hadiyya, Adal and others. Thus, the history of these Portuguese in the span of 15 years has not been reported at all in the Chronicle which recounted in the Portuguese contemporary sources the last year more convincingly to Castanhoso and Bermudez.
As it is seen above the main protagonist of the text, King Gälawdewos was very friendly and grateful to the Portuguese in various of his correspondences why so the chronicles failed to recount the role they played in the military confrontation? This should be ascribed to the fact that the chronicle was composed in the time when the Jesuits were in major conflict with the court of Minas, who finally expelled them.

 As it is dealt with in the narrative structure, the best thing of the chronicle is that his narration of the events is arranged according to chronology. This can be taken as an important feature of the text.
