Merenre II
Merenre II ("beloved of Re") ruled Ancient Egypt duirng the sixth dynasty of the Old Kingdom. He was a son of Pepi II and queen Neith (daughter of Pepi I and Ankenesmerire I). The Turin Canon credits him with a little over a year on the throne, and Manetho agrees. According to Herodotus, Poor Merenre was murdered, forcing his queen, Nitocris, to take revenge before committing suicide.
The only document dated to his reign is a decree protecting the cult of queens Ankhesenmerire and Neith, from pyramid complex of Neith in Southern Saqqara.
