Atse Iyasu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
He is sometimes given the title Atse, a less familiar Amharic word for "Emperor", to distinguish him from the other Emperors of Ethiopia with the same name; because he was not recognized as a legitimate ruler, he is not assigned a number.
