Badi IV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Badi IV (1724 - 1762), also known as Badi abu Shalukh, was a ruler of the Kingdom of Sennar.

When Emperor Iyasu II of Ethiopia invaded his realm in 1738, the army of Sennar under the leadership of Hamis, a prince of Darfur, inflicted a significant defeat of the invaders at the Battle of the Dindar River.[1]

He was deposed and fled to sanctuary in Ethiopia, where Ras Mikael Sehul became his mentor. Ras Mikael convinced Emperor Iyoas I to appoint him governor of the province of Ras al-Fil, near the border with Sennar. However, despite the advice of Iyoas' senior counselors, envoys from Sennar convinced Badi to return to Sennar where he was quietly murdered.
