title: Yeshaq Iyasu
text: Yeshaq Iyasu was a proclaimed Emperor of Ethiopia in 1685. He claimed to be the grandson of Susenyos by a son who had fled the Empire south of the Abay before Fasilides had imprisoned all of his male relatives on Wehni, and was supported by Qegnazmach Wale of Damot, and Tabdan the Hermit of Guondj. Although Yeshaq was supported in Gojjam, the center of his power was south of the Abay in Guduru. James Bruce states that Wale and Tabdan were motivated by religious objections to the decrees of Abuna
