Henuttawy is likely to have been the daughter of
Ramesses XI, last king of the
20th dynasty by
Tentamun. The placement of Henuttawy in the royal families of the late 20th dynasty and the early 21st dynasty is not entirely clear and open to interpretation. Duathathor-Henuttawy held several titles, including ''King's Daughter; King's Wife; King's Mother; Lady of the Two Lands; Mistress of the Two Lands; Daughter of the Great Royal Wife; Foremost Singer of Amun; Mother of the Great Royal Wife; Mother of the High Priest of Amun; Mother of Generalissimo.'' The titles attested for Henuttawy helps us identify which of Pinedjem's children were hers:
Psusennes I, who went on to become pharaoh in Tanis; his wife
Mutnedjmet; and
Maatkare, who became God's Wife of Amun. It is likely she was also the mother of
Henuttawy who is depicted along with Maatkare and Mutnedjmet in
Karnak. It is more difficult to identify the high priest referred to in her titles: three of Pinedjem's sons,
Masaharta,
Djedkhonsuefankh and
Menkheperre became high priests, and one, two, or all three of them could have been Duathathor-Henuttawy's son. Niwiński conjectured that Henuttawy was the daughter of
Ramesses XI and Tentamun. She is mentioned before her husband's ascendence to the throne on a chalice found in Tanis, on a door lintel and on a relief in the
Khonsu temple in the Karnak temple complex. Even here she is mentioned as a queen, with her name written in a
cartouche. Later she is also mentioned on a stela in
Coptos, in Mut's temple in Karnak and on several objects found in her son's tomb in Tanis. She is depicted on the facade of the Khonsu temple in Karnak. ==Death and burial==
