Everything about Menkheperre totally explained
Menkheperre, son of
Pharaoh Pinedjem I by wife Henuttawy (daughter of
Ramesses XI by wife Tentamon), was the
High Priest of Amun at Thebes in
Ancient Egypt from
1045 BC to
992 BC and
de facto ruler of the south of the country.
With his elder brother ruling at
Tanis as Pharaoh
Psusennes I, Menkheperre's power, like that of his predecessor as high priest, his brother
Masaherta, must have been somewhat curtailed. Menkheperre took as his throne name the title of "First prophet of Amun", just as his great-grandfather
Herihor had, perhaps an indication of this diminished role, though he kept the
cartouche unlike his successors in the temple.
Menkheperre married his niece Istemkheb, daughter of his brother
Psusennes I and wife Wiay, and was succeeded by their son
Smendes II, also called Nesbanebdjed II. His other children were Henuttawy or Henttawy II,
Pinedjem II and Istemkheb. Pinedjem II and Istemkheb married each other and became the parents of
Psusennes II,
Siamun's successor; Henuttawy married Smendes II, and they became the parents of Pinedjem II's other wife, Nesjons or Nesikhons.
