Zacharias I of Makuria

Zacharias I (c. 722)[clarification needed] was a ruler of the Nubian kingdom of Makuria.

According to Severus of El Ashmunein, Zacharias was the son of his predecessor, Merkurios.1 Severus gives the impression that his reign was brief, for he states that "Zacharias did not choose to become king, but occupied himself with the word of God and the salvation of his soul" and appointed as king "a kinsman of his named Simon".
