Sobekneferu

Sobekneferu or Neferusobek (Egyptian: Sbk-nfrw, lit. ''Beauty of Sobek'') was the first confirmed queen regnant (or 'female king') of ancient Egypt and the last pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty and of the Middle Kingdom. She ascended to the throne following the death of Amenemhat IV, possibly her brother or husband, though their relationship is unproven. Instead, she asserted legitimacy through her father Amenemhat III. Her reign lasted 3 years, 10 months, and 24 days, according to the Turin Canon. Sobekneferu adopted the full royal titulary distinguishing herself from any prior female rulers. Read more on Wikipedia
