List of ancient Egyptian royal consorts
This is a list of known royal consorts of ancient Egypt from c.3100 BC to 30 BC. Reign dates follow those included on the list of Pharaohs page. Some information is debatable and interpretations of available evidence can vary between Egyptologists.

The Pharaoh's wives played an important role both in public and private life, and would be a source of political and religious power.[1] Pharaohs usually had many different wives, so that a successor could be guaranteed to succeed him. If a queen succeeded in producing an heir that inherited the throne, she would reach a position of great honour as King's Mother and may be able to rule Egypt on behalf of her son as regent if he was underage.[1] While there are many known cases of kings marrying their sisters, there were also wives of non-royal birth, such as Tiye and Nefertiti.[2] Kings such as Amenhotep III and Ramesses II are known to have married some of their daughters, though it is possible these marriages were symbolic and ceremonial rather than incestuous.[3] Apart from the chief consort, the Pharaoh would have many wives in the harem, who could be foreign-born princesses or lower-ranking Egyptian women who had little impact on politics.[4]
While women did occasionally rule as Pharaohs, they generally did not rule while married except during the Ptolemaic period. Thus, male consorts never existed during the time of the native Egyptian royal dynasties, and only Berenice IV and Cleopatra VII are listed as having male consorts who did not rule as Pharaohs.
List of Female Rulers and Co-Rulers[]
Most Queens included on this page did not rule as Pharaohs. However, some did rule in their own right following the deaths of their husbands. Four Queens from the Native Egyptian dynasties are known for certain to have ruled as Female Pharaohs:
- Sobekneferu (c. 1807-1802) (Possibly wife of Amenemhat IV)
- Hatshepsut (c. 1479-1458) (Wife of Thutmose II)
- Neferneferuaten (c. 1334-1332) (Wife of either Akhenaten or Smenkhare depending on her identity)
- Twosret (c. 1191-1190) (Wife of Seti II)
There has also been some debate on whether certain Queen regents such as Neithotep, Merneith, Khentkaus I and Khentkaus II did rule as Female Pharaohs or not. However, there is yet to be any concrete evidence that they did. The legendary Queen Nitocris was supposedly a Pharaoh at the end of the Sixth Dynasty, but no archeological evidence supports her existence.
The Ptolemaic Dynasty implemented a policy of co-rule between spouses starting with Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II. Therefore, most Queens from this dynasty are not listed as consorts as they were co-rulers of Egypt while married to their husbands. The following is a list of Female rulers and co-rulers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty:
- Arsinoe II (c. 277-270) ruled alongside her brother-husband Ptolemy II.
- Berenice II (c. 244-222) ruled alongside her husband Ptolemy III.
- Arsinoe III (220-204) ruled alongside her brother-husband Ptolemy IV.
- Cleopatra I (193-176) ruled alongside her husband Ptolemy V and as a regent on behalf of her son Ptolemy VI.
- Cleopatra II (175-164, 163–127, 124-116) ruled alongside her brother-husband Ptolemy VI, her younger brother (later husband) Ptolemy VIII, her son Ptolemy VII, her daughter Cleopatra III and briefly her grandson Ptolemy IX. She was the sole ruler of Egypt from 131 to 127 BC, the first woman to do so since Twosret over a millennia before.
- Cleopatra III (142-131, 127-101) ruled alongside her uncle-husband Ptolemy VIII, her mother Cleopatra II, her eldest son Ptolemy IX, her daughter Cleopatra IV and her second eldest son Ptolemy X.
- Cleopatra IV (116-115) briefly ruled alongside her brother-husband Ptolemy IX and mother Cleopatra III before being pushed out by her mother.
- Berenice III (101-88, 81-80) ruled alongside her uncle-husband Ptolemy X, her father Ptolemy IX and her brother-husband Ptolemy XI. She briefly ruled by herself from 81 BC to 80 BC before she was murdered on the orders of Ptolemy XI.
- Cleopatra V (79-68) ruled alongside her husband Ptolemy XII.
- Cleopatra VI (58-57) ruled alongside her sister Berenice IV. However, some historians theorise she may actually be the same person as Cleopatra V.
- Berenice IV (58-51) briefly ruled alongside her sister (or possibly mother) Cleopatra VI, but otherwise spent most of her reign as the sole ruler of Egypt.
- Cleopatra VII (51-30) ruled alongside her father Ptolemy XII, her brother-husband Ptolemy XIII, her second brother-husband Ptolemy XIV and her son Ptolemy XV.
- Arsinoe IV (48-47) ruled alongside her brother Ptolemy XIII in opposition to their sister Cleopatra VII.
List of Regents[]
Occasionally when the new Pharaoh was too young to rule, his mother or step-mother would rule temporarily as a regent on his behalf. Because they did not hold the title of 'King' during their time in power, they are generally not included on Lists of Pharaohs. The following Queens are likely to have ruled as regents:
- Neithotep possibly ruled on behalf of her son Hor-Aha (c. 3050)
- Merneith ruled on behalf of her son Den (c. 2970)
- Nimaathap possibly ruled on behalf of her son Djoser (c. 2670)
- Khentkaus I likely ruled as a regent, but her son or sons are unknown.
- Khentkaus II possibly ruled as a regent for one of her sons (Neferefre or Nyuserre Ini).
- Iput I possibly ruled as a regent for her son Pepi I (c. 2332)
- Ankhesenpepi II ruled as a regent for her son Pepi II (c. 2278)
- Ahhotep I ruled as a regent for her son Ahmose I (c. 1550)
- Ahmose-Nefertari ruled as a regent for her son Amenhotep I (c. 1541)
- Hatshepsut initially ruled as a regent for her step-son Thutmose III (c. 1479) before becoming Pharaoh and co-ruler.
- Twosret ruled as a regent for her step-son Siptah (c. 1197)

Twenty-seventh Dynasty (First Persian Dynasty) (525 - 404 BC)[]
The Persian kings of Egypt generally ruled the country from afar and thus their wives played little to no part in Egyptian life and culture.[193] As stated by Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley, "to all intents and purposes, Egypt was without a queen throughout the 27th and 31st Dynasties".[193]

Cleopatra Selene | 1) Ptolemy IX[201] 2) Ptolemy X[201] |
Ptolemy VIII[201] | Cleopatra III[201] | - | - | - | Unlike most Queens of this period, she was not made co-ruler due to the influence of her mother Cleopatra III. After Ptolemy IX was driven out of Egypt by his mother in 107 BC, Cleopatra Selene married her brother Ptolemy X. In 102 BC, she was forced by her mother to divorce Ptolemy X and marry Antiochus VIII of the Seleucid Empire to seal an alliance. She is sometimes named Cleopatra V due to the general confusion over the numbering of the queens named Cleopatra.[201] |
Seleucus VII Philometor | Berenice IV | Antiochus X Eusebes[202] | Cleopatra Selene[202] | - | - | - | Murdered on the orders of Berenice IV after a few days of marriage.[202] While he was technically a co-regent with Berenice, he is usually not included on Lists of Pharaohs. | |
Archelaus [203] |
Archelaus[203] (General) | - | - | - | - | While there is a possibility he was a co-regent,[203] there is no confirmed proof of this. | ||
