Maetnefrure of Egypt 
Maetnefrure's father was King Khattushilish III of Khatti and her mother is Pudu-Kheba of Lawazantiya. Her paternal grandfather was King Murshiliash of the Hittites; her maternal grandfather is King Bentib-sharre of Lawazantiya. She is an only child.General Notes
Ramesses II's marrage to Maathomeferure was born of diplomacy. She was a princess of the Hittite ruler, Hattusilis III. This was a political move to cement peace between Egypt and the Hittites, after a peace treaty was signed in about year 21 of Ramesses II's rule. Seven years later, in about 1239 BC, and Ramesses seems to have outlive this queen as well, and duly marries another Hittite princess whose name has been lost.
