Ahmose Called Si-Tayit
Ahmose called Si-Tayit was possibly the first Viceroy of Kush. It is possible that the position was held by a son of Pharaoh Ahmose I before Ahmose called Si-Tayit was appointed Viceroy, but there is no conclusive evidence for such a Viceroy.Edwards, The Cambridge ancient history, Volumes 1-3, 2000, pg 299, 348 Before Si-Tayit the power in Kush seems to have been in the hands of a dignitary named Hormeni, who was the mayor of Hierakonpolis. Ahmose called Si-Tayit served as Viceroy under both Ahmose I and Amenhotep I. Early in the reign of Amenhotep I, the position passed from Si-Tayit to his son Ahmose called Turo Ahmose called Turo (also Ture, Thure or Thuwre) was Viceroy of Kush under Amenhotep I and Thutmose I.

Ahmose Called Turo
Ahmose called Turo (also Ture, Thure or Thuwre) was Viceroy of Kush under Amenhotep I and Thutmose I. George A. Reisner, ''The Viceroys of Ethiopia'', The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, Vol. 6, No. 1. (Jan. 1920), pp. 28-55. Ahmose called Turo was a son of Ahmose called Si-Tayit. Turo's son Ahmose called Patjenna would continue to serve the royal family during the reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Turo served under pharaoh Ahmose I as Commander of Buhen. Later he served as King's Son (of the Southern Region) under Amenhotep I (inscriptions in Semna, Uronarti). He served under Thutmose I according to inscriptions dating to year 1 and 3. Turo is mentioned in an inscription at West Silsila belonging to the vizier User. This inscription dates to the reign of Hatshepsut. This may be a posthumous mention of the Viceroy. It's possible there were family connections between Turo and User; Turo is shown leading Vizier Amethu's daughters in procession. (Amethu was User's father). ...

Viceroy Of Kush
The former Kingdom of Kerma in Nubia, was a province of ancient Egypt from the 16th century BCE to eleventh century BCE. During this period, the polity was ruled by a viceroy who reported directly to the Egyptian Pharaoh. It is believed that the Egyptian 25th Dynasty were descendants of these viceroys, and so were the dynasties that ruled independent Kush until the fourth century CE. The 'King's Son of Kush' ruled the area north of the Third Cataract. The area was divided into Wawat in the north, centered at Aniba, and Kush in the south, centered at Soleb during the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt and then Amara West. The title lapsed under Paiankh. Pinedjem II named one of his wives 'Superintendent of Southern Foreign Lands and Viceroy Kush'. List of Viceroys Below is a list of viceroys mainly based on a list assembled by George Reisner.

Hormeni
Hormeni (also Harmone) was an ancient Egyptian dignitary who officiated at the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Biography Details about Hormeni's life are known thanks to his funerary stela that probably came from El Kab. It was found by Ippolito Rosellini in approximately 1829 and currently, it is exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum in Florence (inv. no. 2549). On it, Hormeni is depicted along with his wife Dijat and their three daughters Hormeni, Ahmose, and Ahhotep. A scribe since his early career, Hormeni also managed to become ''haty-a'' ("prince" or "mayor") of Nekhen, the capital of the third Upper Egyptian nome. He also had authority in Wawat ( Lower Nubia) and he spent many years there, being in charge of collecting annual tributes for the pharaoh. After him, this task was assigned to the newly created office of Viceroy of Kush, a position first occupied by Ahmose called Si-Tayit.

Viceroys Of Kush
A viceroy () is an official who reigns over a polity in the name of and as the representative of the monarch of the territory. The term derives from the Latin prefix ''vice-'', meaning "in the place of" and the French word ''roy'', meaning "king". He has also been styled the king's lieutenant. A viceroy's territory may be called a viceroyalty, though this term is not always applied. The adjective form is ''viceregal'', less often ''viceroyal''. The term ''vicereine'' is sometimes used to indicate a female viceroy ''suo jure'', although ''viceroy'' can serve as a gender-neutral term. Vicereine is more commonly used to indicate a viceroy's wife. The term has occasionally been applied to the governors-general of the Commonwealth realms, who are ''viceregal'' representatives of the monarch. ''Viceroy'' is a form of royal appointment rather than noble rank. An individual viceroy often also held a noble title, however, such as Bernardo de Gálvez, 1st Viscount of Galveston, who was ...
