Queen Ahmose-Nefertari of Egypt was the sister-wife of Egypt's Pharaoh Ahmose I. She had the following children—Amenhotep I, Mutnofret and Ahmose-Meritamon, who would become the next king and queen of Egypt. Ahmose-Nefertari was the regent for Amenhotep I, when Ahmose died and the latter was too young to run the country.
Her name appears on many monuments from Saï to Tura. She is known to have been still alive until at least the first year of Thutmose I; thus, she apparently outlived her son Amenhotep I, who reigned over Egypt for nearly 21 years. At first, she held the title of Second Prophet of Amun, but renounced it during either the 18th or 22nd year of Ahmose I and became the first God's Wife of Amun.
When she died, she became the last queen to be worshipped in a Theban funerary cult until the time of the High Priest of Amun, Herihor, in the beginning of the 21st Dynasty.
She lived from 1570BC - 1505BC.
