Tekle Haymanot of Gondar

Who is Tekle Haymanot of Gondar?

Tekle Haymanot was proclaimed nəgusä nägäst of Ethiopia by the former followers of Baede Maryam. He set up his palace in Gondar, and ruled there for about a year. He may be identical with the Emperor "Haimanot" mentioned by Henry Salt, who ruled for a year between Iyasu III and Hezqeyas and had died before 1810.

Tekle Haymanot of Gondar 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. Since he was not recognized as a legitimate ruler, he is not assigned a number.
