Mentuhotep IV

The seventh pharaoh of the Eleventh Dynasty
Prenomen: Nebtawyra
Also known as: Montuhotep IV
The seven year lacuna noted in the Turin King-list 6.18 seems to fit well with Mentuhotep IV being the last king of the dynasty, though it only give 6 kings belonging to the dynasty. It seems likely that his vizier, a certain Amenemhat, succeeded him on the throne, starting the great twelfth dynasty as Amenemhat I.
