Medri Bahri was a medieval semi-unified political entity in the Horn of Africa. Also known as Marab (Merab) Melash was situated in modern-day Eritrea, it was ruled at times by the Bahri Negus and lasted from the 15th century to the Ethiopian occupation in 1879. It survived several threats like the invasion of Imam Gran and the Ottoman Red Sea expansion, albeit Medri Bahri irretrievably lost its access to the Red Sea due to the latter. The relation to the Ethiopian empire in the south varied from time to time, ranging from independence to tributary status to de facto annexation.
