Yetbarak (Ge’ez: ይትባረክ) was a King of the Zagwe dynasty. According to Taddesse Tamrat, he was the son of Lalibela.
==History== Tradition states that Yetbarak ascended to the throne after his father King Lalibela had taken the crown away from his first choice of successor, Yetbarak's cousin, Na'akueto La'ab. Taddesse Tamrat argues that this tradition is based on an official version of events, and theorizes that Na'akueto La'ab had fought with Yetbarak for the throne, and despite initial success, Yetbarak became king in the end.
