Meritites I

Meritites I was an ancient Egyptian queen of the 4th dynasty. Her name means "Beloved of her Father". Several of her titles are known from a stela found at Giza. She was buried in the middle Queen's Pyramid in Giza (Pyrmaid G 1b). Meritites was a daughter of King Sneferu. Meritites married her (half?-)brother, King Khufu. With Khufu, she was the mother of Crown Prince Kawab, and possibly Djedefre. Both Queen Hetepheres II and Pharaoh Khafra have been suggested as children of Meretites I and Khufu as well, and it is possible that Meritites II was a daughter of Meritites I as well.
