Ancient Egypt

Sethnakht

ca 1186-1183 BC

Horus name: Kanakht Werpehti
Nebty name: Tutkhaumitatjenen
Golden Falcon name: Sekhemkhepeshder(kher)uef
Prenomen: Userkhaure-setepenre
Nomen: Setnakht

First king of the Twentieth Dynasty. 
It is not known who the parents of Sethnakht were. Ramesses II did have a son named Ramesses-Sethnakht, but there is no evidence linking this son with the future king Sethnakht. Sethnakht's great royal wife was a lady by the name of Tiye-Merenesse. They had a son named Ramesses who would take the throne after his father as Ramesses III.

Queens:

• Tiye-Meren-Iset Wife of Sethnakht. Depicted in Abydos
  Titles: none according to Grajetzki, but Dodson/Hilton list Great King’s Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt), and King’s Mother (mwt-niswt)

Tiye Meren Iset (Tiye, beoved of Isis), Abydos.

• Satre Tameri ?: A partial name appears in the tomb of Sethnakht (KV 14) and may read Satre Tameri. This tomb was originally cut for Queen Ta-Usert. Maybe a misreading of Satre Merytamen, a name for Tawosret? [no titles]
• Habadilat (Hubunradat) ?: Habadilat is the mother of Queen Isis, one of the Queens of Ramesses III. The title of King’s wife is only mentioned in the tomb robbery papyrus. This papyrus mentions the theft of her silver coffin and a golden shroud. If she was a King’s wife during her life, then she may have been married to Sethnakht. Queen Isis does not have the title of King’s Daughter though. Titles: none according to Dodson/Hilton but Grajetzki lists: King’s Mother (mwt-niswt), King’s Wife (hmt-nisw)

Burial place: Rock-cut tomb at Thebes (Valley of the Kings tomb 14)

From papyrus Harris we learn the following about the short reign of Sethnakht:

Former Anarchy
Hear ye: that I may inform you of my benefactions which I did while I was king of the people. The land of Egypt was overthrown from without, and every man was ([thrown] out) of his right; they had no chief mouth for many years formerly until other times. The land of Egypt was in the hands of chiefs and of rulers of towns; one slew his neighbor, great and small. Other times having come after it, with empty years, Yarsu ,  a certain Syrian was with them as chief. He set the whole land tributary before him together; he united his companions and plundered their possessions.
They made the gods like men, and no offerings were presented in the temples.
Rule of Setnakht
But when the gods inclined themselves to peace, to set the land [in] its right according to its accustomed manner, they established their son, who came forth from their limbs, to be Ruler, L. P. H., of every land, upon their great throne, (even) Userkhare-Setepnere-Meriamon, L. P. H., Son of Re, Setnakht-Mererre-Meriamon, L. P. H. He was Khepri-Set, when he is enraged; he set in order the entire land, which had been rebellious; he slew the rebels who were in the land of
Egypt; he cleansed the great throne of Egypt; he was Ruler, L. P. H., of the Two Lands, on the throne of Atum. He gave [ready faces, which had been turned away] Every man knew his brother who hadbeen walled in. He established the temples in possession of divine offerings, to offer to the gods according to their customary stipulations.
Rise of Ramses III and Death of Setnakht
He appointed me to be hereditary prince in the place of Keb, I was the great chief mouth ( r 3 -hr)g of the lands of Egypt, and commander of the whole land united in one. He went to rest in his horizon, like the gods; there was done for him that which was done for Osiris; he was rowed in his king's-barge upon the river, land rested in his eternal house west of the be.
