Year of four Emperors

The year of four Emperors refers to the year 1390 in the Lijoch Empire and a series of events which meant that four different individuals served as the Emperor of Lijochia during a single calendar year. Although the phrase initially referred to the Lijoch calendar, it applies to the currently used global calendar too.

Following the death of Tesfai XI on 14 October 1390, his infant son ascended to the throne as Negus XI. Negus was found dead by his regent within a few weeks of his ascension though, with some accusing Tesfai's brother, Gebrekristos, of murdering his nephew to allow him to ascend to the throne. In spite of this, he began to reign as Gebrekristos VI anyway. Less than two months later, Gebrekristos was found dead too and his son, Negus XII ascended to the throne. After ruling for just over two years, Negus died. Notably, this led to the rule of one of few Lijoch Empresses regnant and to the rule of a third child of Negus X.
