Encyclopedic overview
Mursili I (also known as Mursilis; sometimes transcribed as Murshili) was a king of the Hittites c. 1620–1590 BC, as per the middle chronology, the most accepted chronology in our times (or alternatively c. 1556–1526 BC, short chronology), and was likely a grandson of his predecessor, Hattusili I. His sister was Ḫarapšili and his wife was queen Kali.
