Jytbarek
Jytbarek - the half-century Emperor of Ethiopia from the 13th century. He came from the Zague dynasty and according to one tradition he was to be her last representative. Jytbarek was supposed to be the son of Emperor Gebre Meskel Lalibela, but after his death the rule in Ethiopia was taken over by his nephew Lalibela, Neakuyto Loab (or Leab, depending on the spelling). Jytbarek had a grudge against the throne and wanted to embrace him as his father's legitimate successor. Many of the magnates from the province of Lasta began to support him in their efforts to seize power. It is questionable whether Jytbarek eventually managed to sit on the throne of Ethiopia. According to one legend, he was to rule after the death of Neakuyto Loab, but there are versions that deal directly with Jykuno Amlak, the first representative of the Salomon dynasty after more than three hundred years. If Jytbarek was in power, they ended most likely in the late sixties, and his successor was around 1270, supported by the Ethiopian clergy Jykuno Amlak. Ethiopian historian Taddesse Tamrat suggested that Jytbarek could have been identified as the emperor Zailmaknun, the king of Uganda, killed by Amlak, which could mean that the emperor had lost power as a result of the rebellion. The next emperor of the Zague dynasty was Tekle Gijorgis II, who ruled from 1868 to 1871. Bibliography
