For more details, images, some background information and a bibliography please consult these two works (see below) ![]() Seal with name of Pepi Merenre. Royal ChildrenSons:Nemtyemsaf I Merenre Pepi II Hornetjerkhet Teti-ankh Daughters: Neith Daughter of Pepy I, and wife of Pepy II. Newberry speculated that Queen Neith is the queen Nitocris mentioned by Manetho. The legends record a Queen who avenged the murder of her brother (Nemtyemsaf I ?) and then ruled Egypt for a little over 2 years. Newberry places Neith's rule right before that of Pepy II. He speculates she may have been a regent for the boy-king. There is no conclusiive evidence for this theory. It's possible Nitocris ruled after Pepy II (not before) and it's even possible that there are scribal errors and that there was no female ruler at all. Iput II ? Either a daughter of Pepy I or a daughter of Nemtyemsaf I. Wife of Pepy II Inti? There is some debate as to wether Inti is a daughter of Teti or a daughter of Pepy I. It seems a bit more likely that Inti was Pepi's sister. Some have speculated that Inti was the mother of Queen Inenek-Inti. An alternative theory states that Inti could be a daughter of Pepi I and Inenek-Inti. I'm not sure why it has not been suggested that Inti could be the daughter of Teti and was given the name Inenek-Inti after her marriage to her brother Pepy I.
