Tiyi

She was probably born a commoner, or at least not one of royal blood. Tiye was most likely married to Amenhotep III at a very early age. Tiye had at least six children with Amenhoptep III. She birthed two sons, Tuthmose V and Amenhotep IV, with Amenhotep IV later on becoming pharaoh. She also had four daughters, Sitamun, Isis, Henut-taneb, and Beketaten. Amenhotep III lavished a good deal of attention on his wife. While in his building-craze, he built a number of shrines, a palace for her, and a gigantic artificial lake all dedicated to her. During the Pharaoh's reign, Tiye also wielded a lot of political influence, and she was often considered almost equal to the king and was treated with the same respect.
