Thutmose II was the fourth ruler of the 18th dynasty. He was married to Hatshepsut, who became the first female pharoah, beating Thutmose III out of the position.
[edit] Expansion
Well, check Thutmose II off the list... almost I did my usual expansion and straightened out some dating controversy... this has by far required the most text to explain of all the 18th dynasty so far. I still have a little campaign data to add, but I've exhausted all my sources again. Thutmose II is probably tied with Thutmose IV as the hardest 18th dynasty pre-amarna pharaoh to document, so without a good archaeological discovery, it might be very hard to add much more after I get the campaigns taken care of, but if there is one place where expansion would be a little easier, it would be in monuments. my sources sum all that up as "very few and all messed up", so I can't really take care of it.

- Excellent work Thanatosimii! In my researches for the Ahmose I article (which I am still adding to piecemeal) I have a few "left-over" references which are applicable to other, later rulers of the 18th dynasty. When I am done with Ahmose I'll add whatever additional material I can add from the resources I have at hand (I think I have a good KMT article somewhere that looks at the relative dates of succession for Hatshepsut/Thutmose III that also looks more closely at Thutmose II as well). For what it is worth, you are right in your general assessment that there is not a lot of material on this ruler, who pales in comparison to his immediate predecessor and successors.
Cheers! Captmondo
