Shattuara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shattuara, also spelled Šattuara, was a king of the Hurrian kingdom of Hanigalbat in the thirteenth century BC.

Shattuara became a vassal of the Assyrian king Adad-nirari I (1295-1263 BC) after the latter defeated him.^[1] In an inscription made by Adad-nirari he is said to have rebelled against his lord, but was captured and his oath of loyalty renewed.

A later king also called Shattuara is suggested to have ruled Hanigalbat during the reign of the Assyrian king Shalmaneser I (1263-1233 BC). In an Assyrian inscription king, Shattuara of Hanigalbat is said to have waged war against Shalmaneser I. However it seems more likely this event is a recapitulation of the revolt against Adad-nirari I, either by Shattuara or his son Wasashatta.
