This is a list of legendary monarchs of Ethiopia, based on a king list provided by Ethiopian prince regent Tafari Makonnen (later known as Emperor Haile Selassie), with reference to multiple Ethiopian traditions and legends. Other Ethiopian king lists are discussed in the section. Over Ethiopia's long history, multiple kingdoms and states have ruled, with one of the earliest known being Dʿmt from the 10th century BC. The last royal dynasty of Ethiopia was the Solomonic dynasty, who ruled until 1975 when the monarchy was abolished. Numerous king lists are in existence which chronicle the lineage of kings before the Solomonic dynasty, but often with noticeable disagreements between them. An official chronicle of the kings of Ethiopia from the royal family was published in Charles Fernand Rey's book In the Country of the Blue Nile in 1927, and is the longest Ethiopian king list published in the Western world. However, there is considerable debate on the historicity of this king list, in particular from archeologists such as E. A. Wallis Budge. Many of the claimed ancient monarchs of Ethiopia, such as Ethiopis, Angabo, Makeda, Menelik I and Abreha and Atsbeha are not archeologically attested as of yet, and information on them largely comes from oral traditions within Ethiopia or from texts written centuries after they are claimed to have lived.
