Yemrehana Krestos (Paperback)


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yemrehana Krestos (called "Abraham" by Francisco Alvares) was negus of Ethiopia, and a member of the Zagwe dynasty. According to Taddesse Tamrat, he was the son of Germa Seyum, the brother of Tatadim; however the Italian scholar Carlo Conti Rossini published in 1902 a document that stated Yemrehana Krestos was the successor of Na'akueto La'ab, and succeeded by Yetbarak. According to a manuscript Pedro Paez and Manuel de Almeida saw at Axum, (where he is called "Imrah"), he ruled for 40 years a suspiciously round number. Taddesse Tamrat describes him as the king of Ethiopia closest to a priest, noting that he insisted on ruling Ethiopia according to Apostolic canons. Francisco Alvarez also recorded the tradition that it was Yemrehana Krestos who began the tradition of confining rival heirs to the Imperial throne at Amba Geshen.
