Tekle Giyorgis I (1751–1817)

Born 1751 CE, died 1817 CE.

Tekle Giyorgis I (Ge'ez: ተክለ ጊዮርጊስ; c. 1751 – 12 December 1817), throne name Feqr Sagad, was Emperor of Ethiopia intermittently between 20 July 1779 and June 1800, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was the youngest son of Yohannes II and Woizoro Sancheviyer, and the brother of Tekle Haymanot II. According to Sven Rubenson, who described Tekle Giyorgis as the last emperor to exercise authority on his own up until Tewodros II, "It is not without justification that he has in Ethiopian tradition received the nickname Fiṣame Mengist, 'the end of the Kingdom'". Tekle held multiple separated reigns due to quarrels against his rivals for the crown, he continually pursued to restore himself to the throne in his later life.
