Sehetepibre Amenemhat 1
The one who appeases the heart of Re, Amun is the foremost
1800 BCE to 1770 BCE (1985 BCE to 1956 BCE)
The assassination of Amenemhat 1 prompted his immediate and later successors to appoint their sons (or other close relatives) as co-regents while still alive. Unfortunately this concept of co-regency makes it difficult today to piece together many of the genealogies following the 12th Dynasty, since very often reigns overlap considerably so they cannot just be added up to receive reliable dates for certain periods of Egyptian history.
Nick-name: Ameny.
