Best Answer

King Tutankhamun was succeeded by the Pharaoh Ay.

Ay was not of royal birth; rather, he was Tutankhamun's Vizier, the foremost assistant to the Pharaoh. When Tutankhamun died he left no heir, creating some uncertainty over who should take his seat. Ay took advantage of the confusion by marrying Tutankhamun's widow and claiming the throne.

However, Ay was already elderly when he ascended to the throne. He died after only four years of rule.
