Sobeknefru Sobekkare (also known as Nefrusobek)
Ruling queen at the end of the Twelfth Dynasty. It is not known whether she ruled alone, or alongside Amenemhat III and/or Amenemhat IV. She is less well-known than other ruling queens, notably Hatshepsut, because fewer monuments survive (they may have been mainly in the less well-preserved sites of Lower Egypt and the Fayum, whereas Hatshepsut was buried at, and left numerous monuments in, Thebes).
