The Battle of Deresge was fought on 9 February 1855 in Semien, northern Ethiopia, where Kassa Hailu defeated Wube Haile Maryam, lord of Tigray and Semien. It removed the last great regional rival to Kassa, who was crowned emperor as Tewodros II at the church of Deresge Maryam two days later, ending the Era of Princes.
