Summary
DescriptionMikael Ali (Mohamed Ali). King of Wollo.jpg |
English: Negus(King) Mikael Of Wollo And Northern Ethiopia.
Mikael of Wollo (1850 – 8 September 1918), born Mohammed Ali, was an army commander, regional King and a member of the nobility of the Ethiopian Empire. He was the father of the "uncrowned" Ethiopian Emperor Iyasu V. Lij Eyasu proclaimed that his father would now become King of Zion.This title gave Ras (now king) Michael hegemony over all northern Ethiopia, not just Wollo, but Tigrai and Gondar as well. The northern nobility were furious that they were now being presided over by a former muslim whom they had formerly out ranked. In particular, the Tigrean princes were enraged as the title "King of Zion" had last been used by Emperor Yohannis IV, and they believed their family had been robbed of it's inheritance. Shewans and southerners were not pleased with this sign of the ascendency of the Wollo relatives of the heir. |
