Five men known as sons of Yagbe'u Seyon ruled as Emperor of Ethiopia in succession between 1294 and 1299. Their names were:

  • Seyfa Ared (Amharic: ሰይፈ አርድ ፬ኛ) (1294–1295) (Throne name – Bahr Asgad[1])
  • Hezba Asgad (Amharic: ሕዝበ አስግድ) (1295–1296)
  • Qedma Asgad (Amharic: ቅድመ አስግድ) (1296–1297)
  • Jin Asgad (Amharic: ጅን አስግድ) (1297–1298)
  • Saba Asgad (Amharic: ሳባ አስግድ) (1298–1299)

Though later tradition remembered them as sons of Yagbe'u Seyon, their actual relationship is not clear, though they did succeed him.
