Debre Markos turned into the capital of Tekle Haymanot, Nigus of Gojjam in the course of his reign and as a result, Pankhurst notes, the populace of Debre Markos fluctuated greatly with the presence of absence of the military of the Negus. He states that after the Nigus resided in the city, it had between 20,000 and 40,000 inhabitants; in his absence, among 5,000 and 6,000.
