Zagwe dynasty Zagwe dynasty The Zagwe dynasty (ዛጔ ሥርወ መንግስት) was the ruling dynasty of a Medieval kingdom in present-day northern Ethiopia.

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.
