Tatadim
Tatadim was Negus Negest of Ethiopia and a member of the Zagwe dynasty .
According to Taddesse Tamrat, he was the eldest known son of Mara Takla Haymanot .
The Gadla Yemrehana Krestos states that Tatadim tried to secure the line of succession for his sons and acted against his brothers Jan Seyum and Germa Seyum . The law of the Agau to the heir to the throne gave his brothers the right to succession. This was a problem that preoccupied the Zagwe kings.
