Yolyos

Yolyos (Ge'ez: ዮልዮስ yōlyōs, "Julius") was an early 17th century Ethiopian noble. He was appointed by Emperor Susenyos as governor of Ifat and Shewa, taking the traditional Ifat title of Walashma. His headquarters in Ifat was on an amba, a natural flat-topped mountain fortress, at Gefegef, which he used to defend against nearby Muslims of Qecheno.
