	Meritites IV Meritites IV (also known as Meritites II as she was the second ''queen'' by that name) was a Queen consort, queen from the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt, Sixth Dynasty. She was believed to be a wife of Pepi I Meryre, but her title of ''King’s Daughter of his body of Pepy-Mennefer'' (''s3t-niswt-nt-kht.f-ppy-mn-nfr'') is now understood to indicate that she was a daughter of Pepi I Meryre and wife of a king Neferkare, presumably Pepi II. One more evidence for that theory is that her name means "Beloved of her father". Titles Her titles include: ''Great one of the hetes-sceptre'', ''She who sees Horus and Seth'' (''m33t-hrw-stsh''), ''Great of Praises'' (wrt-hzwt), ''King’s Wife'' (hmt-nisw), ''King’s Wife, his beloved'' (''hmt-nisw meryt.''f), and ''Companion of Horus'' (''smrt-hrw'').

picture info	Sixth Dynasty Of Egypt The Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty VI), along with the Third, Fourth and Fifth Dynasty, constitutes the Old Kingdom of Dynastic Egypt. Pharaohs Known pharaohs of the Sixth Dynasty are listed in the table below. Manetho accords the dynasty 203 regnal years from Teti to Nitocris, while the Turin Canon assigns 181 regnal years, but with three additional kings concluding with Aba – discounting the reigns of the added Eighth Dynasty kings, this is reduced to 155 regnal years.

picture info	Pepi I Meryre Pepi I Meryre (also Pepy I) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, third king of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt, who ruled for over 40 years at the turn of the 24th and 23rd centuries BC, toward the end of the Old Kingdom period. He was the son of Teti, the founder of the dynasty, and ascended the throne only after the brief intervening reign of the shadowy Userkare. His mother was Iput, who may have been a daughter of Unas, the final ruler of the preceding Fifth Dynasty. Pepi I, who had at least six consorts, was succeeded by his son Merenre Nemtyemsaf I, with whom he may have shared power in a coregency at the very end of his reign. Pepi II Neferkare, who might also have been Pepi I's son, succeeded Merenre. Several difficulties accumulated during Pepi's reign, beginning with the possible murder of his father and the ensuing reign of Userkare.
