Salomon II of Ethiopia

Salomon II of Ethiopia

Salomon II (Ge'ez ሣሎሞን) was "IPA|nəgusä nägäst" (13 April 1777 – 20 July 1779) of Ethiopia. He was the son of Abeto Adigo. He may be identical with the Emperor Solomon whom the traveler Henry Salt lists as one of the Emperors still alive at the time of his visit in 1809/1810. [Ref Ethiopia|Salt-1814|pages=474]

He was made Emperor by Ras Gusho and Wand Bewossen after they deposed Tekle Haymanot II. Richard Pankhurst credits him with the construction of Qeddus Fasilides ("St. Basilides," literally "Holy Basilides") church in Gondar. [Ref Ethiopia|Pankhurst-1982|pages=179] According to the chronicler Alaqa Gabru, Salomon was blinded before he was deposed. [H. Weld Blundell, "The Royal chronicle of Abyssinia, 1769-1840" (Cambridge: University Press, 1922), p. 231]
