Kamose

The ninth pharaoh of the Seventeenth Dynasty
Prenomen: Wadjkheperra
Also known as: Kamesiu
Accession 1555 BC
End of reign 1550 BC
Duration 5 years
Kamose continued and expanded the campaign against the Hyksos of the Fifteenth Dynasty that was started by his father Seqenenra. He advanced north but did not reach the delta, instead focusing on Kush to the south which were allies of the Hyksos. When he suddenly died, his brother Ahmose became king, and he was ultimately the one to finish what his father and brother had started – the explusion of the hated Hyksos rulers.
