Nitiqret, also known as Nitocris, was a queen from the Sixth Dynasty, Old Kingdom, c. 2184-2181. She was probably the last ruler of the Sixth Dynasty and her passing marked, for a time, the end of a stable Egypt. Herodotus described her as having assumed the royal titles after the murder of the king her brother, whose death she avanged. If in fact she was an historical personage, she was one of the first women to assume the full powers of kingship.
