Pharoah of Egypt (XII Dynasty)
The birth name Senwosret, worn by four king of the 12th dynasty, means "Man (son) of Goddess Wosret".
Senwosret I came to power in a swift way when his father king Amenemhet was murdered in a palace plot. When this happened he was probably in his mid twenties.
The politics seems not to have been changed and he secured the country like his father by guarding the south border with fortresses and watching over the mobile Libyan tribes in the north-west. Expeditions brought back valuable minerals and for the first time the oases in the western desert were explored.
