| | | | History of Ethiopia: Encyclopedia II - Emperor of Ethiopia - Succession Succession to the throne at the death of the monarch could be claimed by any male blood relative of the Emperor: sons, brothers, uncles or cousins. As a result, two steps were taken: the first, employed on occasion before the 20th century, was to intern all of the Emperor's possible rivals in a secure location, which drastically limited their ability to disrupt the Empire with revolts, or to dispute the succession of an heir apparent; the second was that, with increasing frequency, Emperors were selected by a council of the senior o ...

Horn of Africa - Ancient history.
The Kingdom of Aksum was an African state located in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Yemen that thrived between the 3rd and 11th centuries. Due to the Horn's strategic location, it has been used to restrict access to the Red Sea in the past.
The region was also a source of biological resources during the Antiquity: The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans sent expeditions to the region for frankincense, myrrh, dragon's blood or cinnabar and took these commodities back along the Incense Route. Therefore the Romans called this region Regio Aromatica.

| | | | History of Ethiopia: Encyclopedia II - Emperor of Ethiopia - Ideology The Emperors of Ethiopia derived their right to rule based on two claims: their descent from the kings of Axum, and their descent from Menelik I, the son of Solomon and Makeda, Queen of Sheba.
The claim to their relationship to the Kings of Axum derives from Yakuno Amlak's claim that he was the descendant of Dil Na'od, through his father, although he defeated and killed the last Zagwe king in battle. His claim to the throne was also helped by the fact he married that king's daughter, even though Ethiopians commonly ...

| | | | History of Ethiopia: Encyclopedia II - Emperor of Ethiopia - History The Solomonid dynasty ruled Ethiopia from 13th century until 1974, with only a couple of usurpers. The most significant usurper was Kassa of Kwara, who in 1855 took complete control over Ethiopia and was crowned Tewodros II (he developed a claim to have been descended from Solomoniods in distaff side). After his defeat and demise, another non-Solomonid, Ras Kasai took over as Yohannes IV - however, his distaff descent from Solomonids was a well-attested fact. Menelik of Shewa, who descended from Solomonic Emperors, allegedly also in male line, ascended the imperial throne following Yohannis IV's death, thus purportin ...

These talks were attended b ...
