Kingship in 19usd\rm \sp{th}usd century Ethiopia has received little attention. This study documents the evolution of kingship in the region of Shewa through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The research methodology is based upon indigenous, visual documentation, that traces the historical representation of a particular group of local rulers, and the formation of a legitimizing ideology. This investigation into the thought world of Shewan leaders has revealed insight into the prevailing, pre-modern notions about authority and power. Past scholarship has treated this era as the breakdown of central authority in Ethiopia, but this work has shown that there was a commonly held notion about Christian kingship that various regional leaders strived to re-invent during the nineteenth century. Shewan state became the most successful at realizing that vision, and ultimately became the new political, social, and cultural center of modern Ethiopia.
