Timeline › 18th Dynasty

Neferure c. 1473–1460 BC

Princess, daughter of Hatshepsut

The only known child of Hatshepsut and Thutmose II. While her mother ruled as king she took on the queen's roles, including God's Wife of Amun, and was raised by Senenmut, whose statues show her tucked inside his cloak. She disappears from the record before the end of Hatshepsut's reign.

Names of gods (Ra, Amun, Ptah) are written first out of respect, even when they are read later. Dates are approximate; we follow Ian Shaw (ed.), The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt (2000).
