At the dawn of 1868, Britain invaded Ethiopia with 13,000 soldiers and a crack unit of collectors, oddballs and boffins.

The British Museum librarian who was hitching a ride on the raid loaded up with crosses and crowns plundered during the mission's final battle. And a red-headed, 6-foot-6-inches intelligence officer called Captain Speedy picked up a young prince called Alamayu and took him back to England.
