Was queen Judith of Ethiopia Jewish?

Question

Was queen Judith of Ethiopia Jewish?

Answer 1

I don't know if she was Jewish. Jews come from one of the twelve tribes that settled in Israel. However it is said that that the other eleven tribes were scattered and it may be possible that she was descended from on of those tribes.

Answer 2

Gudit or Yodit, meaning Judith in Amharic.Was said to be Agaw which was referred to the inhabitants of much of the northern Ethiopian highlands, that were either forced out of their original settlements or assimilated by Semitic-speaking Tigray-Tigrinya and Amhara.

Gudit was a non-Christian queen, she is of the Agaw people, who historically have been numerous in Lasta, and a number of whom (known as the Beta Israel), have professed the Jewish religion since ancient times. If she was not of a Jewish origin, she might have been a convert to Judaism by her husband, or pagan.
