Sofya of Axum

Sofya (4th-century), was a queen consort and regent of the Kingdom of Axum.

She was married to king Ella Amida (Ousanas). She was widowed in c. 330, and her son, Ezana of Axum, succeeded her dead husband as king. As her son was still a child upon his succession, she ruled as regent during his minority. [1]
