Seneb bears the title ''king's son'', although he was not the son of a king. In the Thirteenth Dynasty the title ''king's son'' was often used as title of honor and did not automatically mean that the title bearer was the son of a king.

His wife was called Nebtit and their children were: *''Elder of the hall'' Sobekhotep. *''Lady of the house'' Iuhetibu (named for her paternal grandmother) *''T ...

Sekhemrekhutawy Khabaw
Sekhemrekhutawy Khabaw was an Egyptian pharaoh of the early 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. Attestations Khabaw is well attested through archaeological finds. Fragments of a red granite architrave measuring by bearing his Horus name and prenomen were discovered during excavations at Bubastis in 1891 conducted by Édouard Naville for the Egypt Exploration Society. The architrave is now in the British Museum, under the catalog number BM EA 1100. Another architrave discovered in Tanis shows Khabaw's name together with that of pharaoh Hor of the 13th Dynasty. Darrell Baker and Ryholt suggest that this close association might mean that Khabaw was Hor's son and may have been his coregent. Ryholt and Baker believe that both architraves did not originate from the Delta region but from Memphis. The architraves could have come to their find spots after the fall of the 13th Dynasty, when the Hyksos moved a large number of monuments from Memphis to Avaris and other ...

Dedumose I
Djedhotepre Dedumose I was an Egyptian pharaoh of the Second Intermediate Period. According to egyptologists Kim Ryholt, Darrell Baker, Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton, he was a king of the 16th Dynasty. Alternatively, Jürgen von Beckerath, Thomas Schneider and Detlef Franke see him as a king of the 13th Dynasty. Attestations Djedhotepre Dedumose is mentioned on stela found in July 1908 in the southern part of the Tell of Edfu.A Barsanti: ''Stèle inédite au nom du roi Radadaouhotep Doudoumes'', in: ''ASAE'' 9 (1908), pl. 1-2available copyright-free online/ref> The stele belongs to a ''king's son'' and ''commander'' Khonsuemwaset ("''Khonsu is in Waset''").

Mentuhotep (queen)
Mentuhotep was an ancient Egyptian queen of the Second Intermediate Period, wife of pharaoh Djehuti. Her main title was Great Royal Wife. Another title was Khenemetneferhedjet (''she who is united with the white crown''). Queen Mentuhotep is known from parts of her burial equipment found between 1822 and 1825 near Thebes at Dra' Abu el-Naga' by the Italian excavator Giuseppe Passalacqua. He found a canopic chest with cosmetic boxes. The objects were later sold to Berlin. Around 1832 John Gardner Wilkinson copied inscriptions of a coffin naming a queen with the same name. The original coffin is now lost. On the coffin it is stated that she was the daughter of the vizier Senebhenaf and of a woman called Sobekhotep. The inside of the coffin was decorated with different spells, many of them belong to the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Her coffin is one of the earliest sources for this funerary composition. It is not fully clear whether the coffin and the canopic chest were found in t ...

Sobekhotep VII
Merkawre Sobekhotep (also known as Sobekhotep VII) was the thirty-seventh pharaoh of the Thirteenth Dynasty of Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period. Attestations Contemporary Merkawre Sobekhotep is attested by a scarab-seal of unknown origin and by two statues dedicated to Amun. The statues were originally from Karnak and are now in the Egyptian Museum and in the Louvre Museum respectively. The statues present Merkawre Sobekhotep with two sons ''Bebi'' and ''Sobekhotep'', both bearing the titles of "king's son" and of "court official". Non-contemporary Merkawre Sobekhotep is also named in the Turin canon (Ryholt: row 8 column 8, Gardiner & von Beckerath: row 7, column 8) and in the Karnak king list. The Turin canon credits him with a reign of 2 years, a lost number of months and 3 to 4 days. Consequently, Ryholt attributes him 2 and a half years of reign. Chronological position The exact chronological position of Merkawre Sobekhotep in the 13th dynasty is not known ...
