Khamudi

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Khamudi was the last pharaoh of the Hyksos fifteenth dynasty of Egypt, who came to power in the northern portion of Egypt around the tenth year of Ahmose I, the pharaoh of southern Egypt with its capital in Thebes, and was defeated by Ahmose in his sixteenth year. This would give him a rule from 1540-1534 BC in the more commonly accepted low chronology, or from 1560 to 1554 in the high chronology.

The Hyksos were a foreign line of rulers who invaded Egypt and ruled for several generations before this defeat by a native ruler from Thebes, who drove them from Egypt at that time.
