Royal families of the United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates consists of seven Emirates, and has six royal families.
( Both Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah are ruled by the same family.)
Dejazmach Birru
" Dejazmach" Birru Aligaz was a warlord of 19th century Ethiopia during the Zemene Mesafint.
As" Dejazmach", he held the governorships of different districts such as Lasta and Dembiya and was made governor of Dawint, Wollo in 1842 by" Ras" Ali II of Yejju.
He was the son of Ras Aligaz Abba Seru Gwangul, and had a son called Dejazmach Zegeye.
In late 1841," Dejazmach" Wube Haile Maryam, governor of Tigray and Semien, who was regarded as one of the most powerful lords of the time, set out to Debre Tabor to depose" Ras" Ali II from his position as Enderase.
" Ras" Ali II escaped after being defeated, but the victors, who were celebrating their victory fully believing that their enemy was defeated, were surprised by" Dejazmach" Birru Aligaz, who was" Ras" Ali's uncle.
" Dejazmach" Birru routed the victors, captured Dejazmach Wube, and helped" Ras" Ali II regained title.
For his help," Dejazmach" Birru was made governor of Dawint in Wello in 1842.
Eleven years after the Battle of Debre Tabor," Dejazmach" Birru Aligaz led a force that consisted of several" Dejazmachs" that included" Dejazmach" Wube Haile Mariam ’s troops, against Kassa Hailu, the future Emperor Tewodros II, at the Battle of Takusa.
According to Sven Rubenson, on April 12, 1853, Kassa Hailu fought four" Dejazmachs" and killed two:" Dejazmach" Birru Aligaz and" Dejazmach" Belew.
However, Harold Marcus states that Kassa defeated five" Dejazmachs", and that Birru was not killed in this battle, but escaped and was captured in May 1854, to remain in captivity for the next 14 years.
Atse Iyasu
Iyasu or Joshua was proclaimed" nəgusä nägäst"( 1787 – 1788) of Ethiopia in Tigray and Gojjam by enemies of Ras Ali I of Yejju.
He was defeated in battle against Ras Ali.
Battle of Ayshal
The Battle of Ayshal was fought on June 29, 1853, between the forces of Kassa Hailu and the forces of" Ras" Ali II, in Ayshal, in eastern Gojjam.
Kassa's forces won the battle.
The popularity of Kassa continued to grow as he successfully defeated several chiefs one after another, including" Dejazmach" Birru Goshu, Birru Aligaz and Belew.
Birru Aligaz and Belew were defeated in the battle of Taqussa, that enraged" Ras" Ali.
Finally," Ras" Ali and Kassa fought the battle in Ayshal and" Ras" Ali fled to Yeju after losing the battle.
According to traditional Ethiopian history, the battle of Ayshal marks the end of Zemene Mesafint.
Battle of Debre Tabor
The Battle of Debre Tabor was a conflict during the" Zemene Mesafint" in 1842 initiated by" Dejazmach" Wube Haile Maryam to overthrow" Ras" Ali II as Regent of the Emperor of Ethiopia and gain control of Ethiopia.
This confused battle was won by Ras Ali, but at a steep price, and this victory failed to cement his position as the most powerful nobleman of his time.
" Dejazmach" Wube's strategy against Ras Ali depended on his ability to import more firearms, which would provide him with a tactical superiority that would more than outweigh the vaunted cavalry of" Ras" Ali's Oromo kinsmen, and to obtain an" Abuna" for the Ethiopian Church, who would help unite the demoralized Christian population behind him.
Wube made several appeals to obtain firearms from European governments, but did not succeed in obtaining any until the middle of 1841 when Theophile Lefebvre returned from France with a small quantity of weapons and a number of artisans who immediately began to repair a cannon Wube had obtained from" Ras" Wolde Selassie and manufacture war materials.
About the same time, he learned that a new Abuna was on his way to Ethiopia, Abuna Salama III, who arrived in Ethiopia in the last months of 1841.
With this success, the Dejazmach lost all discretion and he treated the envoys of" Ras" Ali with contempt, and announced that he would defeat" Ras" Ali, whom he claimed was still a Moslem at heart, and install Tekle Giyorgis, related to the Solomonic dynasty, on the Imperial throne in Gondar.
Once" Abuna" Salama arrived in Wube's camp the" Dejazmach" marched into Begemder, where with the help of Birru Goshu he captured Gondar, then the allies continued south against" Ras" Ali's army.
The two forces met near Debre Tabor 7 February 1842;" Ras" Ali had summoned nearly 30,000 soldiers to support him, amongst whom were Wube's brother" Dejazmach" Merso and Ali's uncle" Dejazmach" Birru Aligaz.
Mordechai
Abir observes that this" was clearly a battle between the Christian Amhara and Tigrean elements and the Galla[ Oromo], fighting desperately to preserve their predominant position in northern Ethiopia."
Although the two forces were equal in numbers," Dejazmach" Wube's superiority in firearms carried the day.
" Ras" Ali escaped the battlefield with a number of his followers, and with possession of the battlefield the" Dejazmach" and his ally Birru Goshu settled down to a feast to celebrate their victory.
At that moment they were surprised by a small detachment under" Dejazmach" Birru Aligaz, who captured" Dejazmach" Wube and chased Birru Goshu across the Abbay River into Gojjam.
Released from his imprisonment," Ras" Ali grudgingly rewarded his uncle with the governorship of Daunt, a district along the border of Amhara and Wello;" Dejazmach" Merso was given Wube's territories in Tigray.
Despite this victory," Ras" Ali was in a worse position than before the battle.
His enemies were still operating in Gojjam, Damot, Dembiya, and Lasta; the clergy was still hostile to him, and his own Christian subjects in Begemder and Amhara were even more disaffected.
To secure the Abuna's help, he was forced to free" Dejazmach" Wube and go to war against his ally" Dejazmach" Merso to help Wube recover his territories.
His Moslem allies in Welo, alarmed at the Christian Birru Aligaz being invested on their borders, likewise grew disaffected.
" Ras" Ali was forced to seek help elsewhere, and sought it from the Egyptians, who at the moment were consolidating their hold on Sudan.
Although in the short term a beneficial move, this only served to further erode his local support, leading to a vicious cycle leading to" Ras" Ali's eventual defeat by a competent rival -- the future Emperor Tewodros II.
Battle of Gur Amba
The Battle of Gur Amba was fought on 27 September 1852 between the forces of the Ethiopian regent," Ras" Ali II, and the rebel forces of Kassa Hailu.
Kassa was victorious, and Goshu Zewde of Gojjam, Motta, the commander of the regent's forces, was killed.
This was the first of a series of four victories which led to Kassa becoming Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia.
This battle followed three years of peace between Kassa and" Ras" Ali, which ended in 1852 when Kassa refused to respond to" Ras" summons.
" Ras" Ali dispatched a large army to Agawmeder after his rebellious vassal, and Kassa responded by moving to a fortified position near Dengel Ber." Ras" Ali's officers found Kassa's position too strong to attack, so they bypassed it by moving to Dembiya, where they waited out the rainy season.
" Ras" Ali then decided to give the job of destroying Kassa to another of his vassals, Goshu Zewde, and announced at the start of September he had given Kassa's lands to Goshu, Sven Rubenson noting that" Ali probably did not care whether his overt enemy or his ally would be destroyed."
The two armies spent much of September maneuvering for position until at last Kassa brought his men down into the plains of Dembiya.
Amazed that Kassa would make what appeared to be an obvious mistake, Goshu's men immediately charged, and after a full day's combat in which both sides suffered heavily Kassa killed his opposing general and completely routed his opponent's men, who fled back to Gojjam.
Soqiyeh
Soqiyeh( also Romanized as S̄oqīyeh, Soqīyeh, and Soqyeh) is a village in Beyhaq Rural District, Sheshtomad District, Sabzevar County, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran.
At the 2006 census, its population was 128, in 45 families.
Yohannes III
Emperor Yohannes III( c. 1797 – c. 1873) was the last of the elder Gondar line of the Solomonic dynasty to reign over the Ethiopian Empire.
He was the son of Tekle Giyorgis.
He was largely a figurehead, with real power in the hands of the" Enderase" or Regent," Ras" Ali II a princeling of the Yejju Dynasty.
" Ras" Ali's mother was the Empress Menen Liben Amede.
Ras Ali
Ras Ali is an Arab village in northern Israel.
Located to the south of Shefa -' Amr, it falls under the jurisdiction of Zevulun Regional Council.
In it had a population of.
Menen Liben Amede
Menen Liben Amede was an empress and wife of Emperor Yohannes III of Ethiopia.
Following the death of Ras Kinfu, people fought for control of his lands in Gojjam, and eventually Menen Liben Amede gained the upper hand in the Battle of Chenti Ber (October, 1839), defeating and capturing Kinfu's relative Walda Tekle.
Not long afterwards, she deposed Sahle Dengel on 29 August 1840 in favor of her husband Yohannes III.
However, Yohannes III offended Ras Ali by favoring his rival Wube Haile Maryam, and Ras Ali restored Sahle Dengel in October 1841.
Sahle Dengel was still emperor in 1848, when Goshu Zewde entered Gondar and was invested with the title of Ras.
Yohannes III somehow managed to get himself restored to the throne around 1850, only to be deposed again in 1851, and Sahle Dengel was once again restored.
Despite this, Yohannes III persisted with his claim; different parts of the fragmented realm recognized one or the other as Emperor until Tewodros II consolidated Ethiopia under his control and declared himself Emperor.
Significantly, Yohannes III accepted the accession of Tewodros II.
Menen Liben Amede's first husband was Alula of Yejju, and he was the father of her son Ras Ali II.
A second palace was built for Menen Liben Amede, though it was not as large as Ras Ali II's.
Menen Liben Amede was a grandmother of Tewabech Ali, and offered Tewabech Ali as a bride to Kassa entirely for political reasons, although Kassa loved Tewabech Ali and was faithful to her until her death.
This is shown by the fact they made their wedding official by partaking of Communion together at the same time he was proclaimed Emperor.
Menen Liben Amede awarded Kassa all of Ye Meru Qemas in the hopes of binding him firmly to her son and herself.
