Family

Alluwamna married Harapšeki, daughter of Telipinu. Their son was Hantili II.

Reign

Alluwamna's reign is attested by a seal (SBo I.86) named the Tabarna seal . As a son-in-law of Telepinu (married to his first-rank daughter Harapšeki), Alluwamna would have been first in line for the throne. However, Telepinu banished him and his wife to Malitashkur [5] (see KUB 26:77), and so it is possible that he did not come to the throne right after Telepinu's death, but rather after the reign of Tahurwaili, first cousin of Telipinu [1] One text of Alluwamna records the granting of land to his son and likely successor Hantili II. [6]
