Shoshenq VII

Hedjkheperre Setepenre Shoshenq (VII/VIa) Si-Ese Meryamun may have been an Egyptian king of the 23rd Dynasty, ruling Thebes between the death of Takelot III and the Egyptian campaign of the Nubian king Piye, c. 755–730 BCE. His reign has been estimated variously as between five and twenty-five years. He is poorly attested, and his existence remains a matter of dispute. Still, it is supported by leading experts on the Third Intermediate Period, such as Gerard Broekman and Kenneth Kitchen.
