La mère royale Seshseshet et les débuts de la VIe dynastie. Photographie from the Heroic Times ofA key figure in the "royal harem," the King's mother (mwt nswt mwt nswt bjtj) seems to have played an important role since the Old Kingdom. This is evidenced by her mention in the royal annals Palermo Stone, South Saqqara Stone at the end of the sovereign's titulary.
