Answer:

King Ezana

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most important events in the history of the kingdom of Axum was the conversion to Christianity of King Ezana in the fourth century by a Christian monk of Phoenician origin, named Frumencio (who was later bishop of Axum and considered a saint). Following the conversion of King Ezana, the whole of Ethiopia and much of the Nubian region received strong influence from Christianity, and most of the population also converted, making Axum an eminently Christian empire.
