La mère royale Seshseshet et les débuts de la VIe dynastie. Photographie Ten years after his deathA key figure in the "royal harem," the King's mother (mwt nswt mwt nswt bjtj) seems to have played an important role since the Old Kingdom. This is evidenced by her mention in the royal annals Palermo Stone, South Saqqara Stone at the end of the sovereign's titulary. What we know of the life of Seshseshet, mother of King Teti, founder of the 6th Dynasty, illustrates this reality well. This great lady seems to have been a figure of prime importance.
