Tisseme Darge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Woizero Tisseme Darge was the daughter of Ras Darge Sahle Selassie, Prince of Selale, and granddaughter of Sahle Selassie, Meridazmach of Shewa. She was a first cousin to Emperor Menelik II.
As part of the agreement by Menelik (then King of Shewa) and Wagshum Gobeze Gebre Medhin by which Menelik recognized the Wagshum as Emperor Tekle Giyorgis II, Tisseme Darge was given in marriage to Tekle Giyorgis' half-bother Hailu Wolde Kiros of Lasta. Woizero Tisseme and Hailu had a son, Ras Kassa Hailu, who succeeded Ras Darge as head of the Sellale branch of the dynasty, and became President of the Crown Council under Emperor Haile Selassie.
