Gugsa of Yejju

Gugsa of Yejju (died May 23, 1825) is a Ras of Begemder (circa 1798 until his death), and Inderase (regent) of the Emperor of Ethiopia.

According to Nathaniel Pearce, he takes the Christian name of Wolde Mikael.

He is the son of Mersu Barentu and Kefey, the sister of Ras Aligaz.

Both Bahru Zewde and Paul B. Henze consider his reign as Ras and Enderase as the peak of the Yejju Dynasty during the Zemene Mesafint (Ethioia's "Age of Princes").

He marries one daughter to Dejazmach Meru of Dembiya, and his other daughter Hirut to Dejazmach Haile Maryam.
