Lerotholi Letsie (1836–1905) [1] was the paramount chief of Basotho (modern Lesotho) from November 20, 1891 to August 19, 1905.[2]

Leadership of Basotho

Lerotholi became leader after his father's death in 1891. In 1898, he fought and defeated his uncle somewhere near Thaba Bosiu. He remained leader until his death in 1905.[3] His son Letsie II then became leader of the Basotho.[4]
