Wossen Seged (ruled c. 1808 – June 1813[1]) was a Merid Azmach of Shewa, an Amhara noble of Ethiopia.
Despite these works, the local Ethiopian church were dissatisfied with him due to his policy of religious toleration towards his Muslim subjects.
[6] According to Pearce, the slave had set on fire the thatched house Wossen Seged and his wife was sleeping in.
Although the Meridazmach managed to escape the burning house, as well as saving the life of his queen, the slave then fatally stabbed Wossen Seged in the ribs.
Wossen Seged survived the attack for a few days, naming his son Sahle Selassie as his successor.
