Baeda Maryam II of Ethiopia
- Baeda Maryam II of Ethiopia
Baeda Maryam II was "IPA|nəgusä nägäst" (15 April – December 1795) of Ethiopia. He may have been the son of Salomon II. Although E. A. Wallis Budge, in his book "A History of Ethiopia: Nubia and Abyssinia", notes some authorities believe Baeda Maryam was the same person as Salomon III, [Ref Ethiopia|WallisBudge-1928|pages=479] Nathaniel Pearce, who met the former Emperor when he visited Ras Wolde Selassie 20 January 1813, states that he had been Emperor only once, for nine months.
Pearce provides a short account of Baeda Maryam's reign. He had been made Emperor by Dejazmach Gabriel Mikael, and after he was deposed by Ras Aligaz, Baeda Maryam found refuge with Ras Guebra. [Ref Ethiopia|Pearce|pages=vol. 1 p. 109 Pearce identifies Gabriel Mikael as the son of Ras Mikael Sehul. ] By 1802, he was reportedly a prisoner in Semien. [H. Weld Blundell, "The Royal chronicle of Abyssinia, 1769-1840" (Cambridge: University Press, 1922), p. 471] Baeda Maryam later visited Ras Wolde Selassie to seek his help in being restored to the throne, but the Ras declined to help. Pearce later notes that Wolde Selassie was thought to be supporting the claims of the other former Emperor, Tekle Giyorgis, but did not act because "he is persuaded to wait for the Abuna from Egypt and take him with him." [Pearce, "Life and Adventures", vol. 1 p. 111]
