Background

Nefertari, wife of Ramesses II
Hatshepsut, wife of Thutmose II and later Pharaoh in her own right
Ahmose-Nefertari, wife of Ahmose
Pepi II

The Pharaoh's wives played an important role both in public and private life, and would be a source of political and religious power.[1] Pharaohs usually had many different wives, so that a successor could be guaranteed to succeed him. If a queen succeeded in producing an heir that inherited the throne, she would reach a position of great honour as King's Mother and may be able to rule Egypt on behalf of her son as regent if he was underage.[1] While there are many known cases of kings marrying their sisters, there were also wives of non-royal birth, such as Tiye and Nefertiti.[2] Kings such as Amenhotep III and Ramesses II are known to have married some of their daughters, though it is possible these marriages were symbolic and ceremonial rather than incestuous.[3] Apart from the chief consort, the Pharaoh would have many wives in the harem, who could be foreign-born princesses or lower-ranking Egyptian women who had little impact on politics.[4]

While women did occasionally rule as Pharaohs, they generally did not rule while married except during the

Cleopatra VII
are listed as having male consorts who did not rule as Pharaohs.

List of female rulers and co-rulers

Most Queens included on this page did not rule as Pharaohs. However, some did rule in their own right following the deaths of their husbands. Four Queens from the Native Egyptian dynasties are known for certain to have ruled as Female Pharaohs:

  1. Sobekneferu (c. 1806-1802 BC) (Possibly wife of Amenemhat IV)
  2. Hatshepsut (c. 1479-1458 BC) (Wife of Thutmose II)
  3. Smenkhare
    depending on her identity)
  4. Twosret (c. 1191-1189 BC) (Wife of Seti II)

There has also been some debate on whether certain Queen regents such as

Sixth Dynasty
, but no archeological evidence supports her existence.

The

Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II
. Therefore, most Queens from this dynasty are not listed as consorts as they were co-rulers of Egypt while married to their husbands. The following is a list of Female rulers and co-rulers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty:

  1. Ptolemy II
    .
  2. Ptolemy III
    .
  3. Ptolemy IV
    .
  4. Ptolemy VI
    .
  5. Ptolemy IX. She was the sole ruler of Egypt from 131 to 127 BC, the first woman to do so since Twosret
    over a millennia before.
  6. Ptolemy X
    .
  7. Ptolemy IX and mother Cleopatra III
    before being pushed out by her mother.
  8. Ptolemy XI
    .
  9. Ptolemy XII
    .
  10. Cleopatra VI (58-57 BC) ruled alongside her sister Berenice IV. However, some historians theorise she may actually be the same person as Cleopatra V.
  11. Berenice IV (58-55 BC) briefly ruled alongside her sister (or possibly mother) Cleopatra VI, but otherwise spent most of her reign as the sole ruler of Egypt.
  12. Ptolemy XV
    .
  13. Cleopatra VII
    .

List of regents

Occasionally when the new Pharaoh was too young to rule, his mother or step-mother would rule temporarily as a regent on his behalf. Because they did not hold the title of 'King' during their time in power, they are generally not included on Lists of Pharaohs. The following Queens are likely to have ruled as regents:

  1. Neithhotep possibly ruled on behalf of her son Hor-Aha (c. 3050)
  2. Merneith ruled on behalf of her son Den (c. 2970)
  3. Nimaathap possibly ruled on behalf of her son Djoser (c. 2670)
  4. Khentkaus I likely ruled as a regent, but her son or sons are unknown.
  5. Khentkaus II possibly ruled as a regent for one of her sons (Neferefre or Nyuserre Ini).
  6. Pepi I
    (c. 2332)
  7. Pepi II
    (c. 2278)
  8. Ahhotep I ruled as a regent for her son Ahmose I (c. 1550)
  9. Ahmose-Nefertari ruled as a regent for her son Amenhotep I (c. 1541)
  10. Hatshepsut initially ruled as a regent for her step-son Thutmose III (c. 1479) before becoming Pharaoh and co-ruler.
  11. Mutemwiya ruled as a regent for her son Amenhotep III (c. 1388)
  12. Twosret ruled as a regent for her step-son Siptah (c. 1197)
