Footnotes
We know little of Mutnofret’s origins. She is called “king’s wife” but never “king’s daughter,” so her father was not a king. By contrast, Ahmose is called “king’s principal wife” and “king’s sister,” though she too is never called “king’s daughter.” This last fact was disregarded for a long time by Egyptologists, because it did not fit into their ideas relating to royal succession.
