Hatshepsut was the chief wife of Thutmose II, who died while his heir was only a child. She ascended to the throne alongside their son, Thutmose III, as co-ruler. Modern scholars, however, cite that Hatshepsut as a strong ruler that far overshadowed her son as the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Her drive to challenge tradition was fueled by her claim that her father, Thutmose I, intended her to be his intended heir to the throne.
