Djedefre was the third pharaoh of the IV dynasty however many are unaware that even he ruled for eight years or 23 years as suggested. Djedefre was the son of Khufu but not the son of Hetepheres whom we mentioned in the last blog. He inherited the throne from Khufu upon the death of Prince Kawab who was crown prince which suggests intrigue surrounding the court of the IV dynasty. This entry will discuss the debunked theory that Djedefre murdered his brother, Prince Kawab and focus a bit on two women of this period called Hetepheres II and Merysankh III, her daughter and finally their tombs respectively.
