Eleni of Ethiopia
Eleni or Helena (died April, 1522) was the wife of Zara Yaqob, and Empress of Ethiopia. She played a significant role in the government of Ethiopia during her lifetime, acting as regent or advisor to a number of Emperors; one testimony of this is the manuscript Bruce 88, which states that she had been in the palace of three illustrious kings: Zara Yaqob; his son by another wife, Baeda Maryam, and Na'od.
