In the First Intermediate Period (c. 2181–c. 2055 BC), rule of Egypt was decentralized and split between several dynasties based in different cities; Intef II's capital was Thebes. He expanded Theban authority into Lower Nubia, secured control over Upper Egypt, and established a central government. Intef II was the third ruler of the Eleventh Dynasty.
