Henti

Ḫenti (or Ḫinti) was a Hittite queen, the first wife of the great king Šuppiluliuma I.

==Biography== Ḫenti is described on her seal as the "great queen, daughter of the great king, the hero," making her the daughter of the great king Tudḫaliya III (sometimes called Tudḫaliya II). Šuppiluliuma, long considered the son of his predecessor, was therefore his son-in-law and possibly adopted son. Šuppiluliuma, long closely associated with Tudḫaliya III, seized the throne by eliminating Tudḫaliya's possibly underage son and heir, Tudḫaliya the Younger, who would have been a brother or half-brother of Ḫenti.
