Born circa 1508 B.C., Queen Hatshepsut reigned over Egypt for more than 20 years. After the death of her father at age 12, Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose II, whose mother was a lesser wife -- a common practice meant to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline. During the reign of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut assumed the traditional role of queen and principal wife.
