Muwatalli II ascended the throne (1295-1272 BCE).
Keywords:
inheritance, throne, rebellions, internal, externalAbstract
Muwatalli II took over the rule after his father Mursili II directly, as he was the suitable heir to rule and there was no one to compete with him on the throne, but after that he faced many challenges that will be addressed in this research, represented firstly by the internal rebellions represented by the conspiracy of his father's wife Tanuhepa against him in order to control the rule in favor of her sons who were later killed in the Battle of Kadesh. This pursuit of the throne by females was not the first of its kind, but it was mentioned previously in the Old Kingdom that Hattusili daughter also rebelled against her father in order to obtain the throne with the incitement and support of the nobles who tempted her to the point that she brandished a weapon against her father, and Hattusili put an end to this rebellion. Secondly, an internal rebellion by Trahuanda, thirdly, his failure to bear a son from his main wife, fourthly, external rebellions by the Kasa and Egypt, fifthly, the plague and its consequences, and sixthly, his disagreement with the King of Babylon.
