Ankhesenpepi was a daughter of the female vizier
Nebet and her husband Khui, nomarch of
Abydos. Ankhesenpepi's sister was
Ankhenespepi II, and her brother was Vizier
Djau. Both sisters – Ankhesenpepi I and II – were married to
Pharaoh Pepi I whose throne name was
Meryre; their name was probably taken when the marriage took place, since it means "Her life belongs to Pepi/Meryre". Both queens gave birth to successors of Pepi: the son of Ankhesenpepi I was
Merenre Nemtyemsaf I, who ruled only for a few years; the son of Ankhenespepi II was
Pepi II, who succeeded after Nemtyemsaf's death. She is mentioned together with her sister on their brother's stela in Abydos, also, at her pyramid, on an inscription now in
Berlin, and a decree in Abydos. Her titles were: ''King's Wife
, King's Mother
, Great of Sceptre''. ==See also==
