Zagwe dynasty Zagwe dynasty The Zagwe dynasty (ዛጔ ሥርወ መንግስት) was the ruling dynasty of a Medieval kingdom in present-day northern Ethiopia. The kingdom itself was perhaps called "Begwena", after the historical name of the Lasta province. Centered at Lalibela, it ruled large parts of the territory from approximately 900 to 1270, when the last Zagwe King Za-Ilmaknun was killed in battle by the forces of the Abyssinian King Yekuno Amlak. The name of the dynasty is thought to derive from the ancient Ge'ez phrase "Ze-Agaw", meaning "Dynasty of the Agaw" in reference to the Agaw people that constituted its ruling class.
