Imyremeshaw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imyremeshaw (Egyptian: Overseer of troops) Smenkhkare was an Egyptian king of the 13th dynasty, who is known from the Turin King Listas well as two massive colossal statues and a bead. His reign length is unknown but must have lasted for a few years.
His name means 'Overseer of troops' and it has been assumed that he was a General before becoming king, although this has not been proven. However, Imyremeshaw is otherwise well attested as a name. He may have come to power by orchestrating a military coup against his predecessor, Khendjer.
