Rekhetre

Rechetre was a queen of ancient Egyptian 4th Dynasty. She carries both the title of a bodily king's daughter and the wife of the king. Due to the position of her grave can be assumed to be her father with some certainty Pharaoh Chephren. Her husband, however, is unknown; in question come Chephrens Bicheris successor, Menkaure or Shepseskaf.
