Amenemhat IV

Amenemhat IV was the seventh pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, who ruled only in Upper Egypt at Thebes from 1253 to 1244 B.C. He succeeded his father Amenemhat III, and was succeeded by his sister Sobekneferu. Little is known about this pharaoh.

Amenemhat IV was the son of Amenemhat III, who was the son of Senusret III, who was the son of Senusret II. He had no children known to the revised history.

In 1253 B.C., Sesostris III died and Amenemhat III became pharaoh in the north. He appointed his oldest son, Amenemhat IV, to rule in the south during his reign. This situation continued for nine years, but Amenemhat died, likely in a skirmish with the Hyksos of the soon-to-begin 15th Dynasty, in his tenth year of rule.
