According to this historian, a certain Gathaleus<BR>was the general of Pharaoh's troops, who, with the assistance of his<BR>lieutenant Sayas, succeeded in defeating the ever-hostile forces of the<BR>Ethiopians. As a reward for this victory he was given the hand of Pharaoh's<BR>daughter Scota. Gathaleus and his bride journeyed to Portugal, where they<BR>were joined by the faithful Sayas, and the descendants of these two families<BR>eventually came to Scotland and founded the house of Douglas.
