Semenre, also Smenre [1] or Semenenre, [3] is a poorly attested Theban pharaoh during the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt who succeeded the equally obscure Nebiriau II. [3] [4] He reigned from 1601 to 1600 BC ( Kim Ryholt) [4] or ca. 1580 BC ( Detlef Franke) and belonged to the 16th Dynasty (Ryholt) [4] or the 17th Dynasty [1] (Franke).
For this ruler only the
throne name is known, carved on a
tin-
bronze axe head of unknown provenance, now in the
Petrie Museum, London (UC30079). He is possibly also listed on the
Turin Canon (11.7).

Seuserenre Bebiankh

Djehuti.
