Dawit II of Ethiopia (b. 1501)
Dawit II (Ge'ez: ዳዊት; c. 1496 – 2 September 1540), also known by the macaronic name Wanag Segad (Ge’ez: ወናግ ሰገድ), better known by his birth name Lebna Dengel (Ge’ez: ልብነ ድንግል), was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1508 to 1540, whose political center and palace was in Shewa.
A male line descendant of the medieval Amhara kings, and thus a member of the House of Solomon, he was the son of Emperor Na'od and Empress Na'od Mogesa. The important victory over the Adal sultan Mahfuz may have given Dawit the appellation Wanag Segad, which is a combination of Geʽez and Harari terms.
