According to Samuel Gobat , who met with Gigar whom he called Guigar while a missionary in Ethiopia, Gigar had been a monk for many years, when on the death of his brother Iyoas II of Ethiopia Iyoas II he was proclaimed Emperor. Although he laid aside the cowl of St. Anthony, and assumed the crown and title of sovereignty, Gobat notes that the first was much more becoming his character, and far more suitable to the energies of his mind. At the time Gobat met Gigar, the Emperor was said to be 86 years old, although Gobat thought that Gigar did not appear to be more than sixty five or seventy. ref Ref Ethiopia Gobat 1851 pages 168f Gobat met him 30 March 1830. ref However, there is some question about Gigar s precise ancestry. While during his lifetime he was uncontestedly regarded as a descendant in male line of the dynasty, at least two contradictory genealogies for him exist in the sources. One is that he was a son of Iyasus II of Ethiopia Iyasu II and thus the brother of Iyoas I of Ethiopia ..., and a descendant of Emperor Fasilides of Ethiopia Fasilides .
