At least 65 kings who ruled over all of Egypt for 116 years until about 1720 when they lost the Delta to invading Asiatics. The political capital was at Itjy-tawy, and the dynasty was recognized in the far south as late as ca. 1675. Only Neferhotep I, his son Sihathor and Neferhotep's brother, Sebekhotep IV, were related by blood. Some kings were of lower-class or even foreign origin. Only kings attested in contemporary records are listed here.
Neferhotep I
1696-1686 B.C.
Neferhotep I was the 22nd king of the 13th Dynasty. He ruled Egypt from 1696 till 1686 BC. He was the son of a temple priest in Abydos. His father’s position helped him gain the royal image as the king because he did not have any royal blood in his family.
Neferhotep is inscribed on some stones discovered near Byblos. Also, they found other stones in Aswan that were carved with texts which documents all his reign. It seems that all his power reached the Delta in the north and the Nubian Nome in the south.
Ay 1664-1641 B.C.
Ay was the 27th king of the 13th Dynasty. He ruled Egypt from 1664 till 1641 BC. The king did not have any royal blood.
He was from Avaris, a city located in Eastern Delta that was heavily populated with Heksus. The Heksus are the Asiatics who controlled Northern Egypt till 1500 BC. Ay built his pyramid near Avaris but only ruins remain from his temple.
