Biography[]
Nebty-tepites was a daughter of Prince Horbaef and his half-sister Meresankh II. She had a sister Nefertkau III and a brother Djaty. After Horbaef's death, Meresankh married one Pharaoh, either Djedefra or Khafre and she became a queen. So, Nebty-tepites was a niece and step-daughter of her mother's second husband.[3]
