Page "Middle Kingdom of Egypt" Paragraph 21

After the death of Sobeknefru, the throne may have passed to Wegaf, who had previously been the Great Overseer of Troops, though others have suggested Sekhemre Khutawy was next to reign.

Beginning with this reign, Egypt was ruled by a series of ephemeral kings for about ten to fifteen years.

Ancient Egyptian sources regard these as the first kings of the Thirteenth Dynasty, though the term dynasty is misleading, as most kings of the thirteenth dynasty were not related.

The names of these short-lived kings are attested on a few monuments and Graffiti, and their succession order is only known from the Turin Canon, although even this is not fully trusted.
