Bahr Seggad

Bahr-Sagad, also called Bahir-Sagad, was the eldest son of the Emperor Amda Seyon I by his queen Bilen-Saba, as the Solomonic genealogies name him. After the suppression of the rebellion of Ya'ibika-Igzi in Tigray, the emperor first gave Inderta to the queen to govern.

Then, in 1328, he placed Bahr-Sagad at the head of a centralized administration over Tigray and the maritime provinces, where he held the title Ma'ikala-Bahr. His government covered the country between the Marab river and the Red Sea, a command which became the precursor of the office of Bahri Negash.
