Biography
Early life
Haile Selassie I was born Tafari Makonnen on
July 23,
1892, in the village of
Ejersa Goro, in the
Harar province of Ethiopia, as Lij (literally "child", usually bestowed upon nobility). His father was
Ras Makonnen Woldemikael Gudessa, the
governor of Harar, and his mother was Woyzero (
Lady)
Yeshimebet Ali Abajifar. He inherited his imperial blood through his paternal grandmother, Princess Tenagnework Sahle Selassie, who was an aunt of Emperor
Menelik II, and he believed himself to be a direct descendant of
Makeda, the queen of
Sheba, and King
Solomon of ancient
Israel. Emperor Haile Selassie I had an elder half-brother,
Dejazmach Yilma Makonnen, who preceded him as governor of Harar, but died not long after taking office.
