The reign of Dotawo's last "king" is dated to the period between 1463 and 1483 (at least). This short note wishes to highlight another ruler, a Queen Gaua (or Jawe), who is mentioned by the Portuguese historian João de Barros in his imperial history entitled the Terceira Década da Ásia (“Third Decade of Asia”), published in 1563. Her reign can be dated to encompass the early 1520s and knowledge thereof challenges certain narratives regarding the latter period of Dotawo and this note poses questions for further research to explore regarding Christian Nubia in the sixteenth century. +keywords: ["Dotawo", "Christian", "queen", "Gaua", "Jawe", "sixteenth century", "Joel", "Portuguese" ,"Ethiopia", "João de Barros", "Francisco Álvares", "Dongola"] --- The Nubian Christian kingdom of Dotawo, which was the product of the
