Queen Ahmose-Nefertari

Not long after 18 years of Ahmose's reign , Ahmose-Nefertari appeared on the scene of historical events . She might have been the daughter of Queen Ahhotep .
Her stela at Karnak is the first known monument on which Ahmose-Nefertari is figured . On the stela , she is described as a king's daughter , a king's sister , a king's great wife , god's wife of Amun , and a mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt . Both Ahmose and Ahmose-Nefertari are depicted together with their son , Prince Ahmose-ankh . Only a few years after this inscription was made , in the 22nd year , Ahmose-Nefertari claimed the title of a king's mother , although it is not known whether this title refers to her being the mother of Ahmose-ankh or Amenhotep . In any case , the queen outlived her husband Ahmose and even her son Amenhotep I , and still held the position of god's wife of Amun in the reign of Thutmosis I .
