Sobekneferu

Sobekneferu was the eighth pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, who ruled from around 1244 to 1241 B.C. Her entire reign was alongside her father Amenemhat III. Very little is known about this ruler, but more in the revised history than the traditional.

Sobekneferu was the daughter of Amenemhat III, who was the son of Senusret III, who was himself the son of Senusret II. She had no known children.

In 1244 B.C., Amenemhat IV died in a skirmish with the Hyksos. Sobekneferu became ruler to help Amenemhat III fend them off, but she failed, and when she died in her fourth year the Hyksos captured the Nile delta.
