Duathathor-Henuttawy«/b» or «b»Henuttawy«/b» «i»("Adorer of Hathor; Mistress of the Two Lands")«/i» was an «u»ancient Egyptian «/u» princess and later queen. She is likely to have been the daughter of «u»Ramesses XI «/u», last king of the «u»20th dynasty [1]«/u» by «u»Tentamun «/u».«u»[2]«/u» She married «u»Pinedjem I «/u», the «u»Theban «/u» High Priest of «u»Amun «/u» who de facto ruled «u»Upper Egypt «/u» and took on pharaonic titles later on. Henttawy's sister «u»Tentamun «/u» married Pharaoh «u»Smendes I «/u», who was pharaoh of Egypt, but in reality ruled only «u»Lower Egypt «/u» from «u»Tanis «/u».
Duathathor-Henuttawy held several titles, including «i»King's Daughter; King's Wife; King's Mother; Lady of the Two Lands; Mistress of the Two Lands; Daughter of the Great Royal Wife; Foremost Singer of Amun; Mother of the Great Royal Wife; Mother of the High Priest of Amun; Mother of Generalissimo.«u»«/i»[1]«/u» This helps us identify which of Pinedjem's children were hers: «u»Psusennes I «/u», who went on to become pharaoh in Tanis; his wife «u»Mutnedjmet «/u»; and «u»Maatkare «/u», who became God's Wife of Amun. It is likely se was also the mother of «u»Henuttawy «/u» who is depicted along with Maatkare and Mutnedjmet in «u»Karnak «/u».«u»[3]«/u» It is more difficult to identify the high priest referred to in her titles: three of Pinedjem's sons, «u»Masaharta «/u», «u»Djedkhonsuefankh «/u» and «u»Menkheperre «/u» became high priests, and one, two or all three of them could have been Duathathor-Henuttawy's son.«u»[4]«/u»
She is mentioned before her husband's ascendence to the throne on a chalice found in Tanis, on a door lintel and on a relief in the Khonsu temple in the Karnak temple complex. Even here she is mentioned as a queen, with her name written in a «u»cartouche «/u». Later she is also mentioned on a stela in Coptos, in Mut's temple in Karnak and on several objects found in her son's Tanis tomb. She is depicted on the facade of the Khonsu temple in Karnak.«u»[5]«/u»
Her mummy and coffins were found in the «u»DB320 «/u» cache along with those of several members of her immediate family. They are now in the «u»Egyptian Museum «/u» of «u»Cairo «/u».«u»[1]
