Battus II of Cyrene , sometimes called Eudaimon the blessed or the Latin language Latin equivalent Felix , Greek flourished ca. 583 to 560 BC was the third Greek king Cyrenaica and Cyrene, Libya Cyrene and a member of the Battiadae Battiad dynasty . Ancestry Battus was the son of the second Cyrenaean king Arcesilaus I of Cyrene Arcesilaus I and an unknown mother. His paternal grandfather was Battus I of Cyrene Battus I , founder of the Greek colony in Africa. Battus sister was the princess Critola and was the maternal uncle to Polyarchus and future Cyrenaean Queen Eryxo . Eryxo would later marry his son. Polyarchus and Eryxo were among his sister s children. Oracle An oracle delivered at Delphi encouraged people from various parts from Greece , particularly those in the Peloponnese , Crete and the other islands to settle in Cyrene. Battus also invited Greeks to move to Libya . The oracle declared that people who would ever settle in delightful Libya, would one day regret it. The oracle declared caused a great rush among Greeks to join Cyrene. WTF Libyan Resentment The new Greek immigrants may have founded Apollonia. The city became the region s port city modern Susah, Libya . Cyrenaica s population began to increase and they began to encroach upon the territory of the Libyans. The Libyans and their King Adicran, had resented the Greek settlers because they took their land and they had enough of the domineering attitude of the Greeks. Battle of Well of Thaetis Adicran dispatched an embassy to the Egypt ian Pharaoh Apries . Apries collected his strong force and sent them to Cyrene to declare war on the Greeks. Around 570 BC the Egyptians, Battus and the Cyrenaeans marched to the Well of Thestis in Irasa to engage in war. The Cyrenaeans won against the Egyptian army. Very few Egyptians survived and returned home. Herodotus states that the Egyptians had no warfare experience against the Greeks and they didn t take this battle seriously.

Zedekiah revolted against Babylon, and entered into an alliance with Pharaoh Apries Hophra , king of Egypt . In 589 BC, Nebuchadnezzar began a siege of Jerusalem, which lasted about eighteen months. In 587 BC, the eleventh year of Zedekiah s reign, Nebuchadnezzar broke through Jerusalem s walls, conquering the city. Jerusalem was plundered and its temple was burnt down, and most of its inhabitants were taken into Babylonian captivity captivity in Babylon .

Tefnakht II may have been a native Saite king who ruled Sais during the 25th Nubian Dynasty of Ancient Egypt or merely a local mayor of Sais who was erroneously assigned a kingship by the later kings of the Twenty sixth dynasty of Egypt . Tefnakht II was a separate person from the illustrious Great Chief of the West Tefnakhte , who is mentioned in Piye s Year 20 Victory Stela and would have ruled part of Lower Egypt around 685 to 678 BC as a minor Saite king when the Nubian Dynasty still controlled all of Egypt. Tefnakht II appears in Manetho s Epitome as a certain Stephinates and is assigned a reign of 7 Years a figure which is supported by the discovery of his Year 8 Athens stela. Manetho also writes that he was succeeded by an unknown king named Nekauba at Sais. The father of Tefnakht II is unknown and the king may or may not have been a descendant of the last ruling Saite king, Bakenranef who was executed in Year 2 of Shabaka. According to Sextus Africanus s version of Manetho s Epitome, the 26th Dynasty comprised nine kings which began with a Stephinates and ended with a Psammetichus ie Psamtik III . Africanus copy of Manetho s Epitome also accurately records Psamtik I s reign of the 26th Dynasty as being 54 Years and Apries s reign at 19 Years. Consequently, it appears that Manetho regarded Tefnakht II to be the founder of the 26th Dynasty of Sais. Karl Heinz Priese noted long ago in a 1970 article that there was no compelling reason to identify this king with the more famous Tefnakht Piye s chief rival in Lower Egypt aside from the similarity of their names. The earlier Tefnakht is only attested as a Chief of the West , rather than an actual king of Sais. More significantly, however, a recent 2002 CRAIBL article by Olivier Perdu publishes a newly discovered Year 2 donation stela discovered near Sebennytos which dates to Necho I s reign. Perdu reveals that it is close in style, form and content with the Year 8 donation stela of Shepsesre Tefnakht. Perdu sugges ... more details

It was a very popular name in the beginning of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt eighteenth dynasty . Although Ahmose ruled c. 1539 14 bc had been preceded by Kamose, who was his brother, Egyptian tradition regarded Ahmose as the founder of a new dynasty because he was the native ruler who reunifi ed Egypt.

Like her predecessors of the 17th dynasty, Queen Ahmose Nofretari was influential and highly honoured.

The following is a list of usurpers &ndash illegitimate or controversial claimants to the throne in a monarchy . The word usurper is a derogatory term, and as such not easily definable, as the person seizing power normally will try to legitimise his position, while denigrating that of his predecessor. For the sake of this list, however, the term is defined as anyone who forcefully takes power from an established ruler, without consideration to that ruler s legitimacy.
