Iyasu V

Iyasu V , also known as Lij Iyasu , was the designated but uncrowned Emperor of Ethiopia . His baptismal name was Kifle Yaqob. Because he was never crowned emperor, he is usually referred to as Lij Iyasu, Lij meaning child, especially one born of royal blood.

Lij Iyasu was born in Wollo during the reign of Menelek II of Ethiopia. His mother, Woizero Shoaregga, was the eldest daughter of Menelek. Iyasus father was Ras Mikael, Governor of Wollo and longstanding friend of Menelek. Mikael had been born Mohammed Ali and was a Muslim until 1875, when he was obliged to convert to Christianity.
