Nubemhat was an ancient Egyptian queen of the Second Intermediate Period.
Nubemhat (nbw-m-ḥ3t, Gold is at the front, Gold is a name for Hathor [2] ) was the wife of king Sekhemre Wadjkhaw Sobekemsaf I. She had the title ḥm.t-nswt-wr.t (Great Royal Wife). [1] [3] Sobemeksaf I and Nubemhat may date to the transition of late 13th Dynasty and early 17th Dynasty, a period of turmoil and several rulers competing for power.
Nubemhat held the title "Great King's Wife", meaning she was the primary wife of Sobekemsaf I and her children of the first rank would inherit the throne. Sobekemsaf I may have had several wives, the others only holding the title "King's Wife". We do not know if she had a son (royal heir) and if he managed reach adulthood and became a king.
A stela attest to her daughter, King's Daughter Sobekemheb. We learn that she married "King's Son" Ameny, born of King's Wife Haankhes (secondary wife). It is unclear if Haankhes also was a wife of Sobekemsaf I or not, making this a marriage between half-siblings or if she was married to another king. Sobekemsaf I reigned at least into his Year 7 (highest attestation), indicating that his daughter must have been born before he became king if she was of age when married. The son-in-law Ameny may perhaps been a few years older, but do not hold any additional titles indicating he held high offices. The couple may have married quite young.
