Qedma Asgad

Qedma Asgad was later remembered as the third son of Emperor Yagbe'u Seyon and the third of five brothers who ruled Ethiopia in turn between 1294 and 1299. He reigned as Negusä Nägäst from 1296 to 1297, succeeding Hezba Asgad and followed by Jin Asgad.

The hagiography of Saint Basalota Mikael instead names him as a son of Yekuno Amlak, illustrating how little the chroniclers agree on the parentage of the five short-reigned emperors before Wedem Arad took power in 1299.
