Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt > Merhotepre Ini

Merhotepre Ini

Merhotepre Ini was the son and successor of Merneferre Ay and a king of the late Thirteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is assigned a brief reign of 2 Years 3 or 4 Months and 9 days in the Turin Canon. Although Merhotepre enjoyed a very brief reign, he is attested in the historical records by the Cairo Juridical Stela.

This document, which is dated to Year 1 of the later Theban king Nebiriau I, contains a geneaological charter which states that Ayameru, the son by Vizier Aya and the King's daughter Reditenes was appointed Governor of El-Kab in Year 1 of Merhotepre Ini. The reason for this appointment was due to the unexpected death of the childless Governor of El-Kab Aya-junior who was Vizier Aya's eldest son and Ayameru's elder brother. The charter identifies a certain Kebsi as the son of Governor, and later, Vizier Ayameru. The Cairo Juridical Stela records the sale of the office of the governorship of El-Kab to a certain Sobeknakht. This Sobeknakht was the father of the illustrious governor Sobeknakht II who built one of the most richly decorated tombs at El-Kab during the Second Intermediate Period.
