to XIII dynasty

XIVth Dynasty c.1710 - c.1590
( Xois )

to XV dynasty

The list presented below, although including 50 royal names, is only a part of the royal register supplied by the Turin Canon. The rulers of XIVth Dynasty found their seat at Xois in the western Delta. The rulers, known to us only by their names, were to pay tribute to the kings of XVth and XVIth Hyksos Dynasties ruling then in Awaris in the eastern Delta and having strong influence on the rest of the land.

Aasehre (Great In Council Is Re)
Nehesi (Nubian)
One of few rulers of this dynasty that rule is documented in artifacts. Obelisk in front of temple of Seth at Raahu (north-east Delta), two stele of Tell Habwe, scarabs, pillar of Tanis with Nehesi’s mother name mentioned on it, Peret are only some of them. In M. Bietak opinion Nehesi’s father might have been either Egyptian administrator or warrior that usurped royal rule in north-eastern Delta at that time. Turin Canon places Nehesi as a second one in the kings of dynasty XIV register.
