At her death her children inherited the crown: their father had formally to invest the eldest of them with royal, authority in the room of the deceased, and with him he shared the externals, if not the reality, of power.* It is doubtful whether the third Saq-nunri Tiuaa known to us--he who added an epithet to his name, and was commonly known as Tiuaqni, "Tiuaa the brave"** --united in his person all the requisites of a Pharaoh qualified to reign in his own right. However this may have been, at all events his wife, Queen Ahhotpu, possessed them. * Thus we find Thutmosis I. formally enthroning his daughter Hat-shopsitu, towards the close of his reign. ** It would seem that the epithet Qeni ( = the brave, the robust) did not form an indispensable part of his name, any more than Ahmosi did of the names of members of the family of Ahmosis, the conqueror of the Shepherds. It is to him that the Tiuaa cartouche refers, which is to be found on the statue mentioned by Daninos-Pasha, published by Bouriant, and on which we find Ahmosis, a princess of the same name, together with Queen Ahhotpu I. His eldest son Ahmosu died prematurely; the two younger brothers, Kamosu and a second Ahmosu, the Amosis of the Greeks, assumed the crown after him. It is possible, as frequently happened, that their young sister Ahmasi-Nofritari entered the harem of both brothers consecutively.

We cannot be sure that she was united to Kamosu, but at all events she became the wife of Ahmosis, and the rights which she possessed, together with those which her husband had inherited from their mother Ahhotpu, gave him a legal claim such as was seldom enjoyed by the Pharaohs of that period, so many of them being sovereigns merely _de facto,_ while he was doubly king by right.
